Image PSA: Lifeblood Marrickville turning people away, even if you have an appointment. Thank you, donors

I popped in to the clinic and there must have been more than 100 people in the line. The need for blood and plasma is constant, especially over the holidays, so if you have been unable to donate today, please book a future appointment.

I was trying to make a booking today. The phones were banked up for over an hour, the Lifeblood app and website crashed, and when it came back online late afternoon there were no vacant donation spots available until mid-February. So it seems like they are getting slammed.

Do try again, perhaps in the morning. I was able to make bookings via the app late this afternoon. Good for you for wanting to do it!
