Deputy Mayor of London Trevor Phillips visited Brixton Community Centre to urge people from ethnic minorities to become blood donors.

The centre was holding an awareness event to coincide with national sickle cell awareness day last Friday, July 5.

Anyone aged between 17 to 60 are invited to find out more about giving blood from the national helpline on 0845 7711 711, or by visiting the website at www.blood.co.uk.
