South Asian Heritage Month means so much to so many people. At its heart is the opportunity to celebrate what it means to be South Asian, commemorate our shared history, and educate others along the way.
This month is for everyone – regardless of your own heritage or identity – to come together, share stories, and learn from one another.
As we celebrate, it’s also important to raise awareness of health issues that affect South Asian communities, such as thalassaemia, an inherited blood disorder more common in people with South Asian heritage. For those living with thalassaemia, regular blood transfusions are a vital lifeline – which makes blood donation an incredible gift that can save lives.
Find out more about thalassaemia awareness and how you can become a blood donor today. Your donation could make the difference someone is waiting for.
