Common misconceptions about donating blood:

Can you donate blood if you have the sickle cell trait?

YES - You may give blood, but please mention that you have sickle-cell trait when you attend the session.

💉 60 donations. Thousands of lives impacted.

Today, ACLT’s co-founder & CEO, Orin Lewis OBE, reaches an incredible milestone – his 60th blood donation! 👏🏾 Since co-founding ACLT after his son Daniel’s battle with leukaemia, Orin has been on a mission to ensure more people, especially those from Black and mixed heritage backgrounds, step forward to give blood.

In a special interview, Orin shares why he keeps giving and the urgent need for more Black blood donors. Read his story here: https://t.co/Ua6XOWrgVo

🩸Did you know only 2% of UK blood donors are Black?

That’s why 20+ young Black individuals came together at Brixton’s new blood centre to donate and inspire change. Their goal? To spark a movement for generations to come.

This campaign is raising awareness of the need to give blood for our Sickle Cell warriors and the fact that only 2% of blood donors in the UK are of Black heritage. 90% of the donors that gave blood as part of our campaign yesterday donated for the first time ✨

[Poetic Unity @Poetic_Unity]

Yesterday 20+ young Black people gave blood to help our Sickle Cell siblings stand tall ❤️

As part of our ‘Giving Blood in Unity’ campaign with @acltcharity we went to the new blood centre in Brixton as a community to give blood 🙌
