Getting blood out of a tree...

Three East Devon Dsitrict Council employees got up early  to help promote blood and organ donation in Axminster.

The trio from EDDC’s StreetScene team were helping Jo Seddon from NHS Blood and Transplant with a new campaign.

Dave Seal, Graham Trude and Jerry Preston were in the town centre at 6am hanging woollen blood drops in a tree.

Anyone wanting more information can visit www.blood.co.uk or go along to the church in the centre of Axminster to see the tree in all its glory and get more information from a stall in the square.

Dave, Graham and Jerry will be taking the drops down today (Monday), so people have all weekend to see the spectacle of getting blood from a tree.
