This is going to be amazing! Who's coming?

As the nights draw in, we know it can be tempting to stay in and get cosy after a busy day. But stocks of our two most needed blood groups (A+ and O+) are predicted to drop – please do book an appointment and help support patients as Autumn comes. 🍁🍂❤️

My old heart going like the clappers Richard Jobson

Really excited for these events! Tickets here: linktr.ee/CJCooke

My debut novel Murder Most Cryptic is going to be published by Penguin Michael Joseph next year! 🙌🏻 🕵🏻‍♀️ 🧩 I’m very grateful to many people - especially the brilliant Euan Thorneycroft 🙏🏻🙏🏻 and so happy to be working with Grace Long and Michael Joseph - what a team to be a part of 🙌🏻🐧

Important/please like/share: Are you O or A? Stocks of these groups are lower than we'd like. We particularly need O Neg donors. We know next weeks half term may cause stocks to fall further, and we have almost 2,000 appointments waiting to be filled scotblood.co.uk
