Now that I’m all moved and settled, I decided to unpack all of the bags and give them a recount. After the workshops there is quite a nice pile!
I can now reveal we have officially reached our target of 100 bags!! Infact, we have 113, and there is still over a month to go!
I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who got involved! Don’t forget, this isn’t the end! The deadline of the 31st August is still in place, and a second deadline will be created after this.

Welcome to The Blood Bag Project, a craft project that aims to raise awareness of the rare blood condition Diamond Blackfan Anaemia.
Two year old Chloe suffers from DBA, meaning her bone marrow does not create new red blood cells. As a result, she becomes very anaemic and requires blood transfusions every 3-4 weeks. Chloe will need over 150 transfusions by the of ten.
The project has been set up by Chloe's auntie Leigh, who wants to encourage people to donate blood. Chloe's main source of help is through blood donation. However, Leigh is unable to give blood herself and understands she's not alone. This project is for those who want to help the blood cause by donating in another way.
