Why You Should Organise A Blood Donation Drive For Your Organiation

It’s national blood donor week!

However despite all the reasons against blood donation, Australia is facing a shortage of blood supply which could severly affect us all in the near future.

Some statistics:

• Only one in thirty Australians will donate blood in their lifetime, which is only 3 per cent of the population
• In contrast one in THREE will need blood at some stage in their life
• Those who are most common to donate blood are those who have already been “touched by the need for blood”

As the need for blood supply is on a steady rise, it has never been more important to donate!

So now, how do you tackle the issue of finding enough time to donate?

Organising a blood drive for your organisation is a great idea not only to save lives, but to improve employee morale by creating a sense of unity, team pride and leadership.

You can also:

• Improve your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
• Implement your corporate mission without undermining core activities
• Get out of the office/workplace!

Did I mention everyone gets a free cookie and milkshake at the end?
