By running an Awareness Day it provides an opportunity to invite others to find out more, ask questions and share their thoughts and experiences. Invite your church, C.U. or organisation and those in your local community. Blood and organ donation will interest many in your community and inviting them to join with you is a great way to get to know your neighbours and act together.
