Have done for years, but thinking about I've selfishly not been since before Covid and probably at a time they need it most. I'm sure they'll sanitise everything, but just not certain I want to be around others in the room or anything else yet.
Did it about 6 months ago for the first time, very easy to do and straight forward. I did feel a bit out of it and tired for a couple of days after it though.
I used to be a regular donor but went one day and they said my veins had collapsed and not been able to since then - I suppose my health/medication won't allow me to either
Went for years then they asked a different question about receiving blood before a certain year and they then refused to take mine. Thanks to you all that do though

Exactly the same for me, I had a blood transfusion in an operation 25 years ago and after that decided to give back and after a while they stopped me because I had the transfusion.
I used to give regularly but caught Lyme disease about 6 years ago. I Had real trouble getting the nhs to find it as their testing for it is shite.
I’ve felt ok for the last couple of years and the blood service say I’m ok to donate but don’t think it ever goes so won’t donate again in case I give it to someone.
Haven't donated in years. Used to do it at work when the van visited.
I would embark with a shopping list of requirements from my plasma hogging workmates. Terry - Wagon Wheel, Gaz - Twix, Fat Barry - Two twix's.
And so it would go on.
