Employees of Baiduri Bank Group and members of the public lined up yesterday to contribute to the annual blood drive organised by Baiduri Bank Group in collaboration with Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha (RIPAS) Hospital Blood Bank Unit.
The event was hosted as part of the group's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme and is an annual event aimed to help replenish the low blood supplies faced by the national blood bank in RIPAS Hospital, according to a press release.
This year's blood donation drive was organised with the theme 'Every Drop Counts. Give Blood Today.' The event also aimed to cultivate the spirit of caring and giving among the bank's employees.
As with past years, Baiduri Bank Group opened the participation to their customers and members of the public.
This year, a total of 90 people comprising staff and customers joined in this initiative.
Among those who donated were Veronica Chong, Senior Manager, HR and Finance and Dorothy Newn, Head of Group Corporate Communications in Baiduri Bank.
Veronica Chong said, "This is a good time to host our blood drive as supplies from donors are usually low during the month of Ramadhan.
We extended the time to the afternoon this year, to allow staff from branches in other districts to participate."
The Baiduri Bank Group has long been committed to helping in community development. Among others, the bank has been a major sponsor of the annual World Blood Donor Day.
The group also regularly provides financial support for child development programmes in Brunei such as Pusat Ehsan Al-Ameerah Al-Hajjah Maryam, Child Development Centre (CDC), Children's Cancer Foundation (YASKA), SMARTER and the Learning Ladders Society.
