SCOTTISH NATIONAL BLOOD TRANSFUSION SERVICE VISITS BLYTHSWOOD SQUARE
Blythswood Square, the five star hotel in the city centre, is to host a visit by the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) later this month. SNBTS will spend the day at the luxury hotel on Monday 19th November offering local residents and staff in local businesses a perfect opportunity to give blood, that is conveniently located right on their doorstep.
Hans Rissmann, Managing Director of Blythswood Square, said: ‘Earlier this year, our sister hotel, The Bonham, in Edinburgh hosted a similar visit. It proved to be so successful that we were keen to work with the Blood Transfusion Service here in Glasgow on a similar initiative.
‘The busy festive period will soon be upon us when we will welcome several hundred party goers across all areas of the hotel. It is also, ironically, one of the quietest times for the Blood Transfusion Service when every donation is even more important. Hosting this visit by SNBTS means that we’re able to widen our support for such an imperative service ahead of the Christmas party season and make it easy for those nearby to donate blood at a key time in the year for the Service.’
After making their donation, donors will enjoy shortbread with their tea in The Monte Carlo Suite.
Vincent Mooney, Donor Services Manager, SNBTS said, “We are delighted to come along Blythswood Square and provide this local opportunity for blood donors to come and give blood. During the summer, donations can fall by as much as 20% due to Euro 2012, Wimbledon, the Olympics and blood donors taking a well-earned summer holiday. This year our message to everyone, whether travelling abroad on holiday or enjoying the celebrations here at home, is Give Before You Go. There are eight different blood groups, and we want people to think – am I the ‘type’ to save a life?“
To register as a blood donor or to find out where your nearest donation session is, call 0845 90 90 999, text ‘blood’ to 61611, or visit www.scotblood.co.uk
