In a recent blood drive, Famalco Group employees donated a significant amount of blood to the National Blood Transfusion Unit.
This activity was organised by the Group's Events Committee who arranged for the mobile blood unit to visit the Group's head offices in Pitkali road, Attard. Employees who were interested in donating blood were given advice beforehand on what to consume and reserved a dedicated time slot to ensure that the event runs smoothly. In addition to these preparations, posters where handed out to the business community in Attard and the surrounding areas to inform the public of Famalco Group's blood drive.
"Considering this is the first time we organised a blood drive we had great feedback from both the general public and employees alike. Being part of this noble cause is our way of giving back to the community and we look forward to the next visit of the mobile blood donation unit," commented Kevin Abela, one of the Events Committee members.
Other companies interested in becoming part of this noble initiative are encouraged to contact the National Blood Transfusion Unit on [email protected]. The mobile blood unit is equipped with the latest technology, including a high-tech pre-donation testing area and a four-person bleeding theatre, along with air-conditioning and motorised couches.
