Milton Keynes Muslims donate blood as group

Members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA), arranged and donated six litres of blood last weekend.

 The blood drive forms part of a nationwide campaign run by AMYA. Their efforts are particularly important due to a nationwide shortage in donations from members of the south Asian community.

Regional President of AMYA UK, Saeed Nazir, said: “We have been working with National Blood Service for the past decade but since 2018 a number of our centres have now become permanent venues as there is a shortage of south Asian donors.

"Giving blood helps to save lives and in this respect, it is an act of faith. The giving of blood is symbolic of providing lifeblood for humanity and Ahmadi Muslims are committed to the service and benefit of mankind.”
