There is the opportunity to give blood in Largs at the end of this month.
The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service will be inviting local residents to give blood at The Dunn Memorial Hall on Thursday 26 November from 2pm-3.45pm and 5.15pm-7.30pm.
The service must welcome 5000 blood donors every week to meet the needs’ of patients in Scotland.
A spokeswoman said: "“Every minute of every day someone in Scotland receives blood as part of a life-saving or life-enhancing treatment. Only 4% of the population are active blood donors.We aim to have six days supply of each blood group at all times to continue to meet hospital requirements. Whether you’re a new donor; returning donor or a regular donor, we would like to invite you to your local blood donating session.
