Commemorate World Blood Donor Day in June by attending an interactive programme conducted by Singapore Red Cross (SRC), and find out how you can make a difference!

Is blood donation painful? Why should I donate blood when there are so many other people who can?

For this special talk, Singapore Red Cross (SRC) will bust myths on blood donation and sharing the importance of keeping blood donation sustainable in Singapore. Be inspired to be part of this life-saving journey together – as Singaporeans.

Take part in an interactive skit, presented together with InwardBOUND drama company, that addresses one important question: will you step forward to donate blood, whether in peacetime or emergency?
