In response to a shortage of blood donors in Luton, kind-hearted Vauxhall employees rallied together to boost the area's banks.

The NHS Blood and Transplant team have recently launched a campaign to urgently find 250 new blood donors in the town, so the car manufacturer’s industrial sites found 50 new donors from their teams.

Last Thursday, the NHS visited the Luton plant for the first ‘Know your type’ event where employees were given the opportunity to sign up to donate blood, or be tested in a simple and easy way to determine what their blood type is.
