For over two years now I have been giving blood at this donor centre. Located not far from the university of Edinburgh's central campus on George Square, this is a great place to give blood. \n\nThe staff are all very friendly indeed and always have some great banter when you are on the drip. Indeed, this helps any nervous people coming into the centre as well. And when you are finished one can nibble on a selection of biscuits and have a coffee or an orange juice. However, one piece of advice I should pass on is that you should not drink the day you give blood, after a couple of pints down at Fountain Park my mate found out that giving blood and drinking fosters do not go well together! \n\nGiving blood is a great thing and goes towards helping people, and even saving peoples' lives! Three times a year, doesn't sound that much to be honest! So go on, go and do your good deed for the day!
