People in Dollar are being invited to donate blood next month.
The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service needs local residents to give blood on Monday 3 August at Dollar Parish Church.
A spokesperson for the service said: “Every minute of every day someone in Scotland receives blood as part of a life-saving or life-enhancing treatment.
“Only five per cent of the population are active blood donors. The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) must welcome 5000 blood donors every week to meet the needs’ of patients in Scotland.
“We aim to have six days supply of each blood group at all times to continue to meet hospital requirements. Whether you’re a new donor, returning donor or a regular donor, SNBTS would like to invite you to your local blood donating session.
“For more information please visit scotblood.co.uk or connect with SNBTS on Facebook facebook.com/givebloodforscotland and Twitter @givebloodscot.” The session will take place at the East Burnside Church hall from 4-7.30pm.
