Thomas Smith Group, with the help of the National Blood Transfusion Service, held a Blood Donation drive on Wednesday 5th June at its Insurance Brokers outlet in Luqa as part of the company’s 165th anniversary and corporate social responsibility program. Managing Director, Mr. Joe Gerada, felt such a noble cause was fitting to mark this milestone in the company's development.
“Donating blood may save lives and we thank all those who turned up to donate blood”, said Mr. Gerada.  “We are very proud of the excellent turnout by employees – a good number were first-time donors. All employees who participate in such initiatives should be praised and encouraged.”
He added, "The National Blood Transfusion Service often calls for urgent donations as the volume of stored blood is insufficient for emergencies or daily procedures. It is therefore crucial to continuously create awareness about blood donation."
Employees from Thomas Smith Group commented that they are pleased to participate in such initiatives because it is their way of contributing for the benefit of society.
