GIVING BLOOD US FREE & FAST!!

This is my third time this year, giving blood and I am always amazed at how fast and efficient the team there is. From the time I come in to the time I leave is typically under 15 minutes. A huge shout out to the staff at the Surrey office for being so AMAZING!!

I wish more people knew how easy this was to do and how little time it takes out of your day others.

Giving blood made simple

I get reminders when my blood is needed, when I am ok to make the next appointment. Pick a date and available time slots are there to select from, and it goes onto my calendar. The donor form to fill appears the day I need it. Very convenient.

Donating blood

Because I was not allowed to donate blood until recently and because my husband died of blood cancer a few years ago, I feel I need to do something positive for him. The staff and experience at the Bayers Road Donation Centre has been wonderful.

Booking online

I had a lot of trouble navigating the website to book a blood donation appointment.
In the “location” box, it was unclear whether I was supposed to enter my location or the location of the blood donor clinic I was wanting to attend.
First, I entered one address then I entered my other address and neither one got me to the point where I could book an appointment at the 95 Lavenia.
You need to make this website more user-friendly because it’s very frustrating and time-consuming/wasting!

We regret to hear you had issues trying to book an appointment online. When you include a street address, you must include the city or town. By selecting advance search you can also increase the date range or distance. Once you select a location you can make it a favorite by tapping the heart icon. It will then save to your GiveBlood app or online account. Thank you for being a donor. Your selfless act of donating blood makes a significant difference in someone's life. - MB
