You may have noticed a slight change to our logo, website and twitter feed, this has been done as part of the International #Missing Type Campaign which we are proud to support.

The campaign is being run to highlight that people rarely think about their blood type – most don’t even know what it is. But if that ‘type’ were to go missing in everyday life, people will start to pay closer attention to the need for donors. Scotland needs 600 people to give blood each day.

To support the campaign we have removed the A, B and O’s from our website and twitter feed front pages.

We may have #MissingType in our logo but you can help us fill the gaps by giving blood – it can take as little as three teaspoons of blood to save the life of a premature baby.

You can help by supporting the campaign on social media and of course giving blood. To find out more about giving blood and finding an opportunity near you, please visit one of the follow pages:
