The Festa Major in Castelldefels will host a blood donation campaign on Tuesday, August 11 at Plaça Neus Català, in front of the Library, from 5 PM to 9 PM.

This year, the Festa Major in Castelldefels includes a charitable event: on Tuesday, August 11, Plaça Neus Català, in front of the Library, will host an exceptional blood donation campaign organised by the Blood and Tissue Bank of Catalonia. The aim is to take advantage of the celebration to maintain hospital reserves.

A mobile donation unit will assist donors throughout the afternoon, from 5 PM to 9 PM. To participate, it is necessary to make an appointment in advance through the Blood Bank's website, where a specific link for Castelldefels is already available.

The Blood Bank reminds that people aged 18 to 70, who are in good health and weigh more than 50 kilograms, can donate. It is not necessary to fast, but a personal identification document must be brought.

The campaign aims to make a special appeal for solidarity from the residents of Castelldefels, as blood cannot be manufactured and donations are essential to ensure the operation of hospitals. Every gesture counts to secure the daily treatments of patients.

The Blood and Tissue Bank of Catalonia is the public entity that manages blood and plasma donation, transfusion, and analysis, as well as the procurement and processing of tissues. For more information, you can call Sanitat Respon 24 hours at 902 111 444 or consult the bank's blog.
