In honour of the 100th anniversary of Finland’s independence, Blood Service challenges companies, organisations, educational institutions, sport teams and other groups to set up a BloodGroup and donate a total of 10,000 bags of blood in 2017.
We challenge YOU to join our BloodGroup “Itä-Suomen yliopiston ylioppilaskunta” or to set up your own BloodGroup!
Basic instructions:
– You can donate anywhere in Finland
– Suitable donating group is approximately 4–6 persons. Book an appointment for groups beforehand tel. 029 300 1172.
– The Blood Service can also pay for a taxi ride to the Blood Service office for donating groups with four persons or more (if the distance is 2–20 km). Contact the Blood Service office in Kuopio tel 029 300 1172 and discuss about your specific donating time and the taxi rides.
