Networking with a side of giving back!
This week our Business and client engagement manager Tahnee did some networking but with a difference! Donating blood for the first time and catching up with some great people. Who says networking can't happen while doing something that genuinely makes a difference?
It's easy to forget just how important blood donations are until you see the numbers:
❤️ Every 18 seconds, someone in Australia needs blood or blood products.
❤️ 1 in 3 Australians will need blood or blood products during their lifetime.
❤️ Just one blood donation can save up to three lives.
❤️ Australia needs more than 29,000 blood donations every week to keep up with demand.
The surprising part? Only around 3% of eligible Australians donate, even though many more are able to.
Donating blood only takes around 10 minutes (allow about an hour for the whole appointment), and it's one of the simplest ways to make a real impact in someone else's life.
If you've ever thought about donating, consider making an appointment with Australian Red Cross Lifeblood. You can donate at Lifeblood donor centres across Australia, including right here in Adelaide.
You never know whose life your donation could help. ❤️
