 NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) will be in Hounslow House Community Hub, on the ground floor of Hounslow House, from 10am to 3pm on Thursday, 30 July.
You can pop in and speak to the team to find out what blood type you are, register to become a blood donor, book an appointment for blood donation, and learn about plasma and organ donation.
It’s important to know your blood type for your own health. It’s also vital for the NHS as they need donations of all types of blood to keep stocks high and save lives through transfusions.
There will be a chance to chat with Health Outreach Team about your health. The Community Hub and Library team will also be available to talk about services in Community Hubs and Libraries.
 Hounslow has experienced three wildfires in the past week. The new heatwave this week means there is a high risk of more, so please be vigilant and adhere to the following rules to stay safe:
- Do not light fires in open spaces including parks, moorland and wooded areas
- Only use barbecues in designated areas where they are permitted and never leave them unattended
- Ensure smoking materials are fully stubbed out and disposed of carefully
- Take all rubbish home with you, especially glass bottles that can focus the sun’s rays and start a fire
If you come across a wildfire burning, please get to a safe location and call 999 immediately.
