Gift of Hope

Gift of Hope is a Hope 08 initiative, part of the Million Hours of Kindness project this May, to enlist Christians in Scotland who are healthy and aged between 17 and 65, to give blood through the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service.

Surprisingly, only about 5% of Scots give blood, meaning there are an awful lot of more us who can take time out in May to simply give an hour of kindness. The May project is piloting in Edinburgh, with local churches being asked to send people along to the blood donor centre at 41 Lauriston Place, Edinburgh, EH3 9HB, just up from Tollcross. For more information see our Gift of Hope website or speak to Drew Murphy. Drew and a few others will be going there this Saturday (3rd) at 12 pm. Please feel free to join them.

Please be sure and mention the Gift of Hope initiative when you go to donate, so that we can tally how effective the project has been. Let's get giving!
