THE WELSH Blood Service is calling for more people to give blood to boost low supplies and help save lives.

Everyday the Welsh Blood Service has to supply 600 units of blood to 16 hospitals in south, mid and west Wales and they are asking for your help.

There will be three opportunities to give blood at the Pontypool Active Living Centre next week on Sunday January 6 from 10am to 4pm, Monday, January 7 from 10am to 6pm and Tuesday, January 8 from 10am to 4pm.

All donors will be rewarded with a cup of tea and biscuits.
