As your local MP, I hope that everyone in Daventry is enjoying the build up to the festive period. At this time of year, we are all busy shopping, attending parties and catching up with friends and family, but we should also all take a step back and consider how we can help those who are in need. One way you can help is to consider making an appointment to donate blood. Currently in Daventry, there are 2618 blood donors. This means that only 2.7% of the constituency are considered to be active blood donors. Patients need blood 365 days a year and as people get busier during the holidays it's important that donors continue to come forward. There are many excellent ways of giving back over the holiday season but every blood donation has the potential to save the lives of up to three people. An appointment can take just an hour of your time. You can find your local session and book by visiting www.blood.co.uk. Make a date to donate and do something amazing by giving blood.
