🌍 World Blood Donor Day 🌍 Join me today in celebrating the power of life-saving blood donations! As an O- blood type, I proudly serve as a universal donor, making a direct impact on lives in need through the simple act of giving blood. Did you know? How much blood is in a healthy human body? 🤔 It's about 10 pints (5 liters)! Every donation can help accident victims, surgery patients, and those fighting illnesses. Raise Awareness: Blood donations are always in high demand. By donating, you can save up to three lives with a single donation. Your contribution makes a huge difference! Why Donate? - Life-Saving Impact: Each pint of blood can save multiple lives. - Constant Need: Blood can't be manufactured; it can only come from donors. - Community Support: Donating blood supports your community and beyond. How You Can Help: 1. Find a Local Blood Drive: Check with local hospitals or the Red Cross. 2. Spread the Word: Encourage friends and family to donate. 3. Stay Informed: Learn about the donation process and eligibility. Let's make a difference together. Donate blood, save lives. 🩸❤️ #WorldBloodDonorDay #DonateBlood #SaveLives #UniversalDonor #ONegative #BloodDonation #GiveBlood #CommunitySupport

It brings me great joy to launch our 'A Little Pitta Love' campaign in support of Coeliac Awareness Month. 💜 Sadly there are a lot of misconceptions still about coeliac disease, hence why Coeliac Awareness Month is hugely important for raising awareness and educating people that coeliac disease is a serious autoimmune condition and not an allergy. When someone with coeliac disease eats gluten, their body attacks its own tissues and causes gut damage. 1 in 100 people in the UK have coeliac disease, yet alarmingly only 36% of people have a medical diagnosis. Our campaign aims to raise awareness and support the work that Coeliac UK is doing to reach the estimated 500,000 people in the UK who might be living with debilitating symptoms and seeking answers. Our goal is to raise £26,000 for Coeliac UK by donating 20p from every limited edition purple pack of stone baked pittas sold across major UK retailers in the month of May. #spreadalittlepittalove #coeliacawarenessmonth
