Grace BennettGood to see the Patriarch pushing for this. We had a blood drive after liturgy last year and it was straightforward – just turned up, gave a pint, had a cup of tea. Anyone local thinking of going?

Matthew ThomasYeah, our parish did one last spring too. The line moved fast, they had cookies after, and I felt wiped for the rest of the day but it was worth it. Might sign up again if they set another date.
