Life saver high schools

Life Saver High School is a blood donation campaign for all high schools in Finland. We challenge everyone to campaign for blood donation! Students, school staff, parents, and anyone who wants to donate their anonymous blood donation point to the high school are welcome to participate in the campaign.

Participation is easy: Come to donate blood with a friend and mention the name of your high school during the nurse’s interview.

One blood donation visit = One point for the high school. Simple and easy!

Participation is easy

My school has a Donor Group

• Great! Mention the group’s name when you come to donate blood. Each blood donation visit will contribute one anonymous point to the group’s score!

My school does not have a Donor Group yet

• No worries, creating a Donor Group is easy! Fill out this form, and we will take care of the rest.

I don’t know if my school has a Donor Group

• Check the status from this table. We also always serve by email at info [at] veripalvelu.fi.

Here’s how to donate blood

• Book an appointment for blood donation.
• Fill out the health questionnaire at the earliest the day before the donation.
• Register for blood donation with a photo ID (driver’s license is acceptable!).
• Drink a glass of juice or water.
• Tell the nurse the name of your high school’s Donor Group at the beginning of the interview.
• The nurse will go through the health questionnaire and measure your hemoglobin from your finger.
• Blood donation takes about ten minutes.
• Enjoy coffee and a snack after the donation.
• Relax and enjoy the rest of the day.
