It's not just about the free biscuits, honest! There are so many benefits to giving blood or plasma... that sense of pride for giving a little bit of you, physically, to potentially help save a life or at least assist in helping in someone's recovery.

GoodGymers have been helping save lives this month by donating pints rather than drinking them - pints of blood and plasma which is urgently needed to treat emergencies, mothers during child birth and provide critical treatments.

One donation has already made its way to Newport ready to be used.
