TEXT BLOOD EA to 60081 - EA Blood Donation Drive

Workplace Health / Give Blood
Health and Wellbeing Team

 

EA is delighted to partner with the Northern Ireland Blood Transfusion Service (NIBTS) to make it more accessible for EA staff and the communities we work in to donate blood.

H​​ow ​y​ou can get involved!
  1. For anyone who has never previously donated blood or those of you who haven't donated in a long time, text BLOOD EA to 60081.
  2. Texts sent will allow the NIBTS to gauge whether setting up new venues within EA is feasible.  (Note: A text message charge may apply depending on your provider.)
  3. Existing donors are welcome to attend EA blood donation stations should they be set up, however, we do not require those of you who regularly give blood to text the above number.

​​Ple​ase text BLOOD EA to 60081 today and we'll keep you updated on the progress of EA blood donation stations. Thank you in advance for your support.
