One in three people in Lilydale will need blood during their lives — and without local donations, that blood may not be there at the crucial moment.

That’s why the Red Cross blood donor centre will be popping up again in Lilydale for two weeks.

Running from 6 to 17 February daily during the working week, donors are encouraged to book a spot to give blood.

Opening hours:

Monday 6 February 12.30 pm – 8 pm

Tuesday 7 February 12 pm – 8 pm

Wednesday 8 February 12 pm – 8 pm

Thursday 9 February 12 pm – 8 pm

Friday 10 February 8 am – 3 pm

Monday 13 February 12.30 pm – 8 pm

Tuesday 14 February 12 pm – 8 pm

Wednesday 15 February 12 pm – 8 pm

Thursday 16 February 8 am – 3.30 pm

Friday 17 February 8 am – 3 pm

The pop up centre will be located at the Lilydale Baptist Church Complex on the Corner Hull and Swansea Roads

If you’re a donor — or you’re organising a Lifeblood Team — don’t forget to book in beforehand online, on the app or on 13 14 95. Remember, get in early to grab the best time! And if you’re not already part of a Lifeblood Team, you can join or start one online.
