People are being called to give blood to help maintain supplies during the winter months.
NHS Blood and Transplant will be holding a blood donation drive at Morrisons supermarket, in Uxbridge Road, Hatch End on Friday January 2.
The session is part of a drive from the service to help maintain stocks in the New Year.
Nelson Olivares, from NHS Blood and Transplant said: “The beginning of the year is a great time to make changes to your lifestyle. And it is the perfect time to give blood.
“If knowing that your blood is helping to save sick and injured people isn’t satisfaction enough, we can also guarantee donors a warm welcome, a refreshing drink and a biscuit when they donate.
“This year, make a resolution you will want to keep and help us save lives at the same time.”
The Hatch End session will run from 9am to 12.20pm and then from 2pm to 4.20pm.
Anyone aged 17 to 65, weighing more than 50 kg, seven stone 12lbs, and in general good health, can give blood.
