Heart attack survivor, 40 year old Matthew Allick, needed seven blood transfusions after collapsing with a cardiac arrest in 2023.
He is calling for more Black heritage donors, as matched blood is vital for conditions like sickle cell disease and to save lives.
NHS Blood and Transplant has permanent donor centres in Tooting and Twickenham, where people can book appointments.
Book appointments here: www.blood.co.uk or by calling 0300 123 23 23.
