2023 Newsletter - Ed 14 - Lifeblood

1 in 3 people will need blood…only 1 in 30 donate.

Lifeblood Teams is a fantastic way for family, friends, colleagues, teammates, and communities to band together and give blood- nothing beats the feeling of saving lives together…and you never know when you, or your loved ones, may need Lifeblood.

Aside from genuinely saving lives, Lifeblood Teams is about friendship, inclusive community and a little healthy competition. It’s about lifting spirits and making you proud to be part of something bigger than yourself.

With this in mind, and as they become eligible, we are encouraging the year 12 cohort to consider making their first donation as part of the St Bernard’s College Lifeblood Team.

In celebration of St Bernard’s College 60th Anniversary, we have set an initial goal of

60 donations by 1st November, appealing for donors from our Year 12 students & the wider SBC community- so whether it’s your first time or your 60th, please join our team and donate in the coming weeks.

Group bookings, to donate together with family and friends, can be made online or via the Lifeblood App.

If you’re already a donor and would like your future contributions to be registered with the St Bernard’s College Lifeblood team, please follow instructions here.
