NHS Blood and Transplant staff have organised for a choir to attend the session at the Chequers Hotel, Abbey Road, on Monday from 10am to 12.30pm and 2pm to 4pm.

Neil Simms, donor relations co-ordinator, said: “We want to create a festive atmosphere at donation sessions in the run-up to Christmas and we are delighted that the Furness Music Centre choir will be singing carols at Chequers.”
