AN extra 440 people in the North East signed up as blood donors last month — and there is a chance for them to donate this weekend.
NHS Blood and Transplant aimed to register 10,000 new donors during National Blood Week in June. Almost 11,400 actually signed up nationwide.
A blood-donor session will be held at Storey Park Community Centre in Morpeth on Sunday, from 10.30am to 1pm, and from 2.30pm to 4.30pm. For further details, call 0300 123 2323.
