What age do you have to have to be to give blood in Scotland?

Question

I want to give blood but I am only 16. Some people actually said I can give blood now, some say 17 and some say 18. Anyone know for sure?

Answer 1

Donors must be at least 17 years of age but a 16 years old can give blood with parental consent. I checked the website, but to make sure you could just go along and ask a nurse.

Hope this helps.
