Caring Volunteers required

Wendy Richards from Volunteering New Plymouth

The NZ Blood Service mobile blood drive visits New Plymouth once every 4 weeks for 3 days and sets up at St Andrews Church in Liardet St.
They are looking for new volunteers to assist with refreshments and chat with donors after they have donated blood. No Police check or a current Covid vaccine is required.

Volunteers are asked if they will do one rostered shift of 2-3hrs during the mobile blood drive hours. Come and join the professional, friendly team at NZ Blood Service, your help would be most appreciated….
