NHS Blood and Transplant
blood donor sessions
You’ll be welcomed in and asked to complete a few simple questions about your medical history and lifestyle to make sure it is safe for you to donate and safe for a recipient to receive your blood. If anything is of question to you or our team, the nurse will be on hand to talk to you further, all in the strictest confidence. From there you’ll have your iron levels tested by a simple finger prick test; this is to make sure you have enough iron in your blood to donate. You'll then be called to a donation bed where you’ll sit back and relax to give your donation using new, sterile, high tech equipment. In a short period of time after donation you'll have yourself a drink and a biscuit safe in the knowledge you have just helped to save or improve someone’s life. Donors can attend this session with or without an appointment. To register as a donor, and to book an appointment should you wish, please contact 0300 123 2323 or alternatively visit www.blood.co.uk |

Cancer Research UK's Race for Life Cancer Research UK's Race for Life is an amazing women-only series of events which raises millions of pounds every year for life-saving research into 200 types of cancer - helping men, women and children across Yorkshire survive. Race for Life is non-competitive. Women and girls of all ages, shapes and sizes can choose whether to walk, jog or run the 5k route. Most are able to walk 5k in an hour. All women are welcome, regardless of whether they are taking part on their own or as part of a group. Last year, 2,742 women took part in Race for Life in Huddersfield and raised a fantastic £137,088. This year, organisers want 3,400 women and girls to put their best foot forward and help raise £145,500 for vital research. By uniting - and enlisting the support of the men and boys in their lives - women across Huddersfield can make a stand against cancer - a disease which affects 26,700 people in Yorkshire and the Humber every year. |

Artists Open Studio Trail Studios are often personal and private spaces, each one unique and individual, directly reflecting the character and persona of the artist. They are places of contemplation, design, inspiration, isolation, collaboration, creation, construction, spontaneity, frustration, de-construction, relief, exhilaration and relaxation. Some will be chaotic, others havens of calm. Some spaces are heaving with a mixture of creative folk all working side by side, while other sites offer undiscovered pockets of individual innovation and expression. During HOST artists from around the region offer you a snippet of their world. The trail invites you to experience the variety of work in a range of different atmospheres. Enjoy. |

Lindley Lights Switch On Attractions include Santa's Grotto and children's craft activities in the library, carols by Lindley Infants School's choirs in St. Stephen's Church, an angels and knights themed fancy dress competition and a firework display. A Christmas event aimed to showcase Lindley and its array of independent shops and cafes but most importantly will raise money for charity. The Love Lindley Committee, who organise the event, said: “We have the essence of a fabulous family night out and we hope lots of people will come along and enjoy themselves and help us to raise money for such a worthy cause.” Many of the local businesses will be staying open late to give people an opportunity to do some Christmas shopping and to sample some festive food and drink. The event starts at 5pm and runs until 8.30pm, and there is free parking at Armitages Garden Centre. |
