Residents have been asked to give blood to help hospitals this Christmas.
A unit of blood has a shelf life of 35 days, and hospitals across England will need about 7,000 units of blood every day this Christmas to treat patients.
Each donation could save the lives of three people.
NHS staff will be at Didcot Civic Hall in Britwell Road on Wednesday, December 11, from 1.30pm to 3.30, and again from 4.15 to 7.30pm.
