YOUTH STUFF YOUTH COUNCIL IS SAVING LIVES SALISBURY Youth Council members are helping to save lives by rolling up their sleeves to donate blood with the Australian Red Cross Blood Service, and encouraging other young people to do the same. Currently, only one in 30 people donate blood, but one in three people will need blood in their lifetime. Members of Salisbury Youth Council are helping to save at least three different patients for every blood donation they make, as well as contributing to 22 products to help make lifesaving immunisations for chicken pox, hepatitis B and tetanus. This year, Salisbury Youth Council is encouraging young people over the age of 16 to donate their blood, whilst also raising awareness about the importance of donating blood and the donation process.
