team's new home

supported our Blood Donor Appeal so far. Earlier this
year, we set the ambitious target to raise £150k to build
bespoke facilities for the RVC Blood Donor Programme.
We are thrilled to announce that with your kind and
generous support, we have raised over half of our target
and construction of the new facility is underway!
It is now possible to treat more illnesses and injuries

science are blood products. Without our blood donors
and the expertise of our blood donor team, hundreds

procedures they need to survive. Since the conception
of the RVC Blood Donor Programme 20 years ago,
the need for dedicated and specialised facilities has
intensified, resulting in our special appeal where we asked
you, our valued community for help – and you answered!
