Members and volunteers distributed information leaflets to residents and visitors and explained the importance of giving blood and registering as a potential bone marrow donor.

The public response was particularly positive, with many people expressing interest in future activities.

The initiative formed part of the committee's wider work to strengthen social solidarity and a culture of voluntary service, demonstrating that small acts can save lives.
