AISWA Joins the Red25 Movement
As of 2017, AISWA is part of the Blood Service's group donation program, Red25. As an organisation we encourage all our member schools to get behind this movement by donating blood collectively. Every donation you make can help save three lives. Imagine how many lives we can save if we all donated together at least once this year.
Here are our first AISWA Blood Donors AISWA Blood Donors
