“Whether it’s for your loved ones, your neighbour, or even somebody you’ve never met. Small acts of kindness make a difference.” – Sir Trevor McDonald OBE

For Black History Month NHS Blood and Transplant asked our Co-founders to visit the Word On The Curb studios to participate in a video celebrating every single person that’s donated blood or organs.

Sir Trevor McDonald OBE was joined by Beverley De-Gale OBE and Orin Lewis OBE and other community champions  Doreen Black, Dela Idowu and the Retired Caribbean Nurses Association – Bedford to thank them for their relentless work over the years.

NHS BT says “For many Black patients, a successful blood transfusion will most likely come from a donor of the same ethnic background.”

Orin has incredibly given blood 49 times and has donated enough blood to have  saved potentially 294 lives.

Please watch the video below celebrating Black History Month and “Saving and improving even more lives together.”
