The amount of donors who frequently give blood has fallen by 23 per cent in the last 10 years, NHS Blood and Transplant said, with the decline being highest among people in their 30s, with a drop of almost double.
Having a lack of time is a barrier to donation for many people, the NHS said, with more than one in ten also being put off by not knowing what is involved in the procedure.
To help halt a decline in regular blood donors NHS Blood and Transplant is now appealing for people to come back and register to donate during this year's National Blood Week, with a new celebrity poster campaign inspired by this year's come-back king David Bowie.
