Bnei Akiva’s national blood donation campaign arrived on campuses this week.

It is the second year that “Bleed BA Dry” has taken donations from students in Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester, Cambridge and London.

Zak Jeffay, BA national director, said: “Many young people know about giving blood but see it as something that their parents do.

“You can give blood from the age of 17 and we are encouraging all of our eligible members to donate and save lives. We are celebrating 70 years of BA ‘leading the way’, and now we are delighted to also be ‘bleeding the way’.”
