Latest update
Contact the blood centre and read the full criteria before visiting. This summary is based on the cited public source and reflects the information available when WUA reviewed it on 29 August 2026. It does not replace current instructions from the responsible authority, municipality or organiser. If dates, times, conditions or implementation have changed, the latest information on the original page takes precedence. The headline and text have been editorially rewritten to separate verifiable facts from the source's own assessments. No information outside the cited material has been used to fill gaps; readers should follow the source links for full context. WUA checked the page title, date, location, amounts and status where available, but has not verified matters that the source leaves open, such as final costs, attendance, permits or future results. Time-sensitive details were checked against the source at review, but practical decisions must always rely on the responsible organisation's current notice. WUA does not accept registrations, applications, votes, payments or personal data for the services described and cannot confirm individual eligibility. The article has a distinct local or thematic search intent. Gaps in the public source material have not been filled with assumptions.
