The Welsh Blood Service needs to collect over 350 donations of blood everyday. A single donation can be broken down into its different components, so it can be used in various ways.
Anyone aged between 17 and 66, who weighs over 7st 12lbs (50kg), who is healthy and not subject to certain medical exclusions can volunteer to become a blood donor.
Blood donations in July were enough to help 21,000 patients in Wales.
These donations help provide the treatments patients need for their care from helping mums and new-born babies to helping cancer patients through their chemotherapy treatments.
If you're unsure if you can donate, you can visit the Welsh Blood Service website to check - Check eligibility.
