Lifeblood is calling on Kiama to roll up their sleeves to help save lives.

One in three people will need blood during their lives and Lifeblood is in Kiama this week to collect it for them.

Lifeblood helps donors give life, and recipients get it by working together across the nation with donors, communities and health providers.

It could be during a cancer treatment, an emergency surgery, or complications during childbirth.

This is a visit to give the locals a chance to give blood and save lives.

Lifeblood is rolling in at the Anglican Church on 1 Terralong St, Kiama from 9-13 September.

If you’re a donor, or any of your team, community or organisation are, you can book in beforehand online, on the Lifeblood app or on 13 14 95.

Local legends like you are more important than you could ever guess.

By spreading the word in your backyard, you give life and hope to so many people across Australia. That’s worth a pat on the back.
