Facebook's rolling out a new tool in England, Wales and Northern Ireland to encourage people to donate blood

The social media giant's partnered with the NHS to allow users between 18 and 65 to receive updates about the service.

The opt-in feature will notify people about opportunities to donate at local centres, and invite friends to do the same.

In South-West London, there’s a donation unit at St George’s Hospital in Tooting.

Steve Hatch from Facebook says it's especially important now.
