Organize a blood donation at the workplace
Blood donation can be organized at your workplace or educational institution. The method of implementation depends on the number of people for whom the blood donation is being organized. On this page, you will find more information, instructions, and requirements for organizing a donation event.
Two ways to organize blood donation
VThe way to organize blood donation depends on how many people the event is intended for. If it is a smaller event in the Helsinki metropolitan area, we will come with the Blood Donation Bus. If it is a larger event, we can organize blood donation, for example, at the company’s or educational institution’s own premises.
- Small event = workplace has at least 200 people (Blood Donation Bus).
- Large event = workplace has at least 1,000 people (Blood Donation Event).
Organizing a blood donation event
Previously, organizing blood donation was only possible at large workplaces and educational institutions (with more than 1,000 people). With the blood donation bus, smaller workplaces, educational institutions, and organizations can now arrange a blood donation event.
The blood donation bus is a new type of blood donation unit where you can donate blood in the same way as at our site. The bus does not move during the donation, but it allows us to get closer to helping hands. For now, the blood donation bus can only be ordered for events organized in the Helsinki metropolitan area.
Does your property have at least 1,000 people working there? Read about organizing your own blood donation event here!
Who can organize a blood donation in a bus?
A blood donation bus can be ordered to a workplace or educational institution located in the Helsinki metropolitan area, where there are
- at least approximately 200 employees / students
- 15-20 m level parking area
- restroom facilities near the parking area

Blood donation event at a large company
Blood donations can also be organized at large workplaces, military bases, and educational institutions across Finland. In this case, we do not come with the Blood donation bus, but organize the event, for example, in the company’s or educational institution’s own premises.
If there are at least 1,000 people in the same building, you can inquire about the possibility of organizing a blood donation event in your facilities.
Considerations in organizing a blood donation include, among others:
- number of people (at least about 1000 people),
- timing (weekday),
- accessibility,
- accessible, quiet, and appropriate facilities,
- coffee service possibility.
