Commending Give Blood 4 Good’s Efforts to Secure Scotland’s Blood Supply

Lodged by Fulton MacGregor (Scottish National Party) Members' Business Motion 25 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament commends the charitable work of Give Blood 4 Good (GB4G), which was founded in 2019 in memory of Patrick Smith, an Edinburgh student who passed away and who was a passionate advocate for blood donation; understands that GB4G was established to address a significant gap in the number of young people becoming blood donors, and to encourage a new generation to step forward; recognises what it sees as the effectiveness of its educational initiatives, including the Young Ambassador Programme for high school students, which uses e-learning and hands-on activities to inform and engage students; believes that this programme not only educates young people on the lifesaving importance of blood donation but also provides them with transferable skills that can be used on CVs and university applications; understands that each blood donation has the potential to save or improve up to three lives; welcomes the charity’s work, and recognises the importance of blood donation in Coatbridge and Chryston and across Scotland.
