Blood Donation Camp Planning Checklist
Everything a first-time camp organiser needs, in order.
Six weeks out
Confirm a licensed blood bank partner (they bring the medical team and cold chain), fix a date avoiding exams and festivals, and book a clean, ventilated hall with 4–6 couch spaces, a registration table and a refreshment corner.
Two weeks out
Open pre-registration so the bank can plan capacity, arrange donor refreshments (fluids, biscuits, fruit), print consent forms and signage, and line up 6–10 volunteers for registration, queue and post-donation care.
On the day
Donor flow is registration → screening → donation → 15-minute rest. Keep juice at the rest area, shade in the queue, and one volunteer solely watching for dizzy donors. Capture registrations for follow-up so the camp becomes a standing donor circle, not a one-day event.
