The Voice Box International Blood Donor Month 20/01/25 - [Voices Radio]

Hosted by Shahlaa Tahira, this episode of #TheVoiceBox aims to advocate and raise awareness for International Blood Donor Month. 💭

In the UK, the need for blood is constant, especially for rare blood types often found in Black, Asian, and minority ethnic communities. This month, we’re shining a light on the importance of blood donation, busting myths, and hearing inspiring stories from donors and recipients.

Shahlaa is joined by our Resident therapist Sital who gives her professional advice on January Blues. January also marks International Blood Donor Month so Shahlaa speaks to Young Ambassador Oluwatimilehin from the Sickle Cell and Thalassemia Support Project, Sickle Cell Warrior and blood donation receiver, Shahlaa’s Sister Style Me Aliya, BBC Radio 1Xtra’s CassKidd, Temple For The Soul Soundbath and Shahlaa spotlights NHS Blood and Transplant.
