A new blood donation centre has opened in Brixton

Today, 16th December, a brand-new blood donation centre has opened at 444 Brixton Road, SW9 8BH, just a minute’s walk from Brixton tube station. It’s bright, modern, and perfectly designed to make the whole experience easy and comfortable.

Why should you donate?

Giving blood saves lives—it’s as simple as that. Hospitals use blood for emergencies, surgeries, and life-threatening illnesses like cancer. Right now, there’s a big demand for donations to meet hospital needs, especially for certain blood types:

• O negative: The universal blood type, vital for emergency services.
• O positive: The most requested blood type in hospitals.
• A positive: The second most common blood type and always in demand.
• B negative: A rare type that’s tricky to find, so donations are especially important.

Designed with you in mind

The new Brixton centre is more than just practical. It’s been designed to feel welcoming and stress-free. The space is bigger, cleaner, and brighter—everything you need to have a good experience when you come to donate. Plus, the friendly team are on hand to help you every step of the way.

How to get involved

It doesn’t take long to give blood, but the impact is huge. If you’re ready to roll up your sleeve, you can book an appointment on their website. Whether it’s your first time donating or you’re a regular, this new centre is here to make the process as smooth as possible.

So, if you’re in Brixton and looking to do something amazing, stop by the new donation centre. It’s easy to get to, beautifully set up, and every donation makes a real difference. Go on, Brixton—let’s save some lives!
