A PRICELESS GIFT
Hello everyone
The restriction on giving blood in response to the outbreak of ‘Mad Cow’ Disease in the UK (restricting anybody who lived in the UK between 1980 and 1996 from giving blood) was lifted 29 February 2024.
So, for the first time in over 30 years I donated blood last Tuesday. I am again able to give a priceless gift that may very well save a life – and all for just 1 hour of my time.
So, for whatever reason you haven’t given and would like to, I encourage you to find out more about how you can donate.
There is a lot of info on the NZ Blood Website.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

60.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility

14.3% ... It is complicated
