Mansfield resident Norman Tomlinson attended an awards ceremony organised by the NHS Blood and Transplant team on Wednesday 29 January 2025, at the Albert Hall Conference Centre, Derby Road, Nottingham.

One unit of donated blood can save or improve the lives of up to three people, so 100 donations has the potential to save the lives of up to 300 hospital patients.

Certificates were given to pay tribute to their dedication and commitment to donate blood, which is a vital part of treatment for so many patients.
