About US

Your Blood Helps was founded by Edith Victoria, whose son Gabriel (aka Gabz) was diagnosed with Sickle Cell Disease, shortly after he was born in 2012. Sickle Cell Disease is the name for a group of inherited conditions that affect the red blood cells. The most serious type is called Sickle Cell Anaemia.

Edith began to use her spare time to raise awareness about the importance of blood donations and the people who rely on them. World Sickle Cell Day is on the 19th of June so in 2017, she teamed up with NHS Blood & Transplant and the ACLT to get as many to attend the West End Donor Centre and make a blood donation. The response was encouraging and collectively everyone who took part or encouraged others to come has helped to keep someone somewhere , healthy and/or alive. Letting people know that Your Blood Helps was essential and is now a platform to share information about why, who and how people can get involved.

Why giving blood is so important...

Giving blood saves lives. The blood you give is a lifeline in an emergency and for people who need long-term treatments.

Many people would not be alive today if donors had not generously given their blood.

We need over 6,000 blood donations every day to treat patients in need across England. Which is why there’s always a need for people to give blood.

Each year the NHS needs approximately 200,000 new donors, as some donors can no longer give blood.

More donors from all blood groups and types are needed and there is a more urgent need of people from black, Asian and minority ethnic communities to give blood so that we have a supply of certain blood types.

The real challenge is this: the NHS need at least 40,000 black donors to start making regular blood donations to help black patients who suffer from sickle cell disease. Sickle Cell disease patients need life-saving blood from black donors, so that they receive the closest match to their own.
