They want your blood

Woy Woy Donor Centre is calling for blood donations to help people with cancer.

The donor centre is open at Woy Woy Hospital every Tuesday from 1pm to 7pm.

"Donating blood is a practical and direct way of assisting people with cancer," Cancer Council Australia CEO Professor Ian Olver said.

"It is critical there are adequate supplies of blood for transfusions which can be part of treatment and help improve a person's quality of life, so we encourage people to give blood regularly."

The Woy Woy Donor Centre is located on the grounds of Woy Woy Hospital on Ocean Beach Rd, Woy Woy.
