Young Muslims lead blood donation drive in Morden
5:02pm Monday 8th March 2010
A national campaign calling for more people to give blood is being led by young Muslims based at the Bait-ul-Futuh mosque in Morden.
Members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association helped set up a blood donation centre in the mosque last Tuesday after handing out leaflets and flyers around the community promoting the opportunity to give blood and the importance of doing so.
Organiser Shiraz Sethi said: ”Donating blood is a great and simple way of being of service to fellow human beings. It doesn't cost anything but could make a huge difference to so many lives."
Association members will be working with the National Blood Service (NBS) to set up more locations where people can give blood and also sign up to the organ donor register.
