BLOOD donation sessions are going ahead at a local fitness centre this month.

The NHS Blood Donation Team will be hosting two blood donation sessions at Bridport Leisure Centre on Wednesday, May 12 and Sunday, May 30.

The NHS hosts regular blood donor sessions in the leisure centre's sports hall, which are accessible to anyone, members and non-members.

The first session, on May 12, will take place from 11am until 9pm.

The May 30 blood donation session will begin at 8.30am and continue until 5.30pm.

The sports hall and the badminton courts will not be available during these times.
