As the NHS Give Blood service in England calls for O negative, B negative and A negative donors to come forward, we have taken a closer look at donation venues across South Tyneside and wider North East if you want to make an appointment. The service has 25 permanent donor centres in England; for the North East, this is in Newcastle.
In addition, the blood service has a range of temporary community-based venues in local areas across the country, including in South Tyneside. These are not permanent centres, and instead offer appointments two or three times a year.

Here are the locations that run blood donation sessions in and around South Tyneside, according to the Give Blood website. To register as a blood donor or search for an appointment near you, visit the Give Blood website here.
