@sioncrowle Thanks Siôn, was great to read in The Big Issue feature how you first came to pitch the idea! Would love to hear more about why the cause was so close to your heart. I am confident that tonight's episode will help save many more lives both this Christmas and beyond 🩸❤️🙌
@moviegoblin Thanks so much Steve! It was wonderful to watch the episode with one eye on our website queuing system kicking in, in order to cope with the level of people logging on to register and book! 🤩🩸🙌
@Candidfloss @GiveBloodNHS If you are able to give blood donation a go, you will find out your blood type after your first successful donation! ➡️ https://t.co/g6y98lqBAT
@mikeyuk86@GiveBloodNHS@BBCCasualty Please hang in there! We anticipate high interest during the programme but the queuing system should allow everyone to get through and ensure our systems can manage the level of people trying to register and book 🩸❤️🙏🏻
@TheAthleticFC@nnamdionye Thx for this piece @nnamdionye! Would be great to keep in touch if this is something you would consider covering again in future? We'd also love to support if you are interested in coming along to donate for a first person experience (if not already a donor!) @GiveBloodNHS 🩸
"Unfortunately time isn't on our side."
If Zachary doesn't receive a small bowel and liver transplant within the next few weeks, the tiny two-year-old could die.
His parents are doing everything they can to raise awareness of #OrganDonation. https://t.co/ZJDhkXpBjK
Parents of an 11-week-old baby who needs an urgent heart transplant are urging people to think about organ donation.
William Jones, 11 weeks old, is currently the youngest child in the UK on the urgent heart transplant waiting list.
@Wallrainbow@daraobriain@NHSBT Thanks Lynda - We have a constant need for blood so helping fill appts in coming days, weeks & months is exactly what we need! We hope to see you in September! 🤞🏻🩸
@Shanks1971@daraobriain@NHSBT We have centres in both Shepherds Bush and Stratford Westfield - would be great to have you join our life-saving regular donors! 🩸
Do you have blood type o negative? Stocks are really, really short at the moment, so @NHSBT would love to you to arrange to give blood as soon as you can! I recommend the centre in Westfield, excellent chocolate biscuits afterwards. Other blood types gratefully accepted too!
A poignant milestone... Evie has now been living in hospital for a year, while she waits for a heart transplant.
At just 4 years old, Evie can't leave the children’s heart unit at the Freeman Hospital without the gift of life.

Beautiful 4 year old Evie needs a #HeartTransplant urgently and can't leave hospital until she receives her precious #gift. Evie’s mummy Chloe asks for everyone to share her little girl’s story and to talk about #OrganDonation within your families ❤️

Paul says: “I’m living my life exactly the same way now that I would have done without donating, but I’ve been able to change the lives of three other people.”

Black women experience lowest success for IVF, start treatment later, & are being excluded altogether due to inaccurate metrics - like BMI
I spoke to women who have been through it to try to understand the complex systemic failings:

"Without people willing to donate their organs, people like me can't get the transplant they so desperately need."
