We're diving into the heartwarmng initiative that swept across the Highlands and Moray: the 'Give Blood, Save Lives' Campaign. Launched by Highland News & Media and the Scottish Nation Blood Transfusion Service in November 2024, this collaborative effort aimed to collect 5,000 vital blood donations by Easter 2025 to combat critical shortages and encourage regular donations.

We are joined by Grrgor White who brough this campign to life, a new donor himself, we looked inot how one donation can benefit patients with different care needs and how simple the donation was.
