Together, we’re making a real difference.

The Sydney Swans are proud to partner with Australian Red Cross Lifeblood to help support the people who rely on the generosity of blood and plasma donors every day. Through this special partnership, we’re inviting you—our people, our partners, and all of our Bloods community—to join us in giving back in a life‑changing way.

Why donate?

Did you know 1 in 3 people will need blood, but only 1 in 30 donate? The need for blood is growing every day, and your donation can help people who are:

  • Fighting cancer
  • Undergoing surgery
  • Experiencing complicated pregnancies
  • Living with blood disorders or autoimmune diseases
  • And countless more conditions
  • Giving blood and plasma is one of the most generous things you can do. You’ll be changing the lives of people across the country and helping them through some of the toughest times in their lives.

Donating blood is simple and only takes 10 minutes in the chair, or 45 minutes for plasma. Plus some time for paperwork and enjoying a tasty snack after.

There’s nothing like knowing you’ve genuinely helped someone, and we’d love to share that amazing feeling with you.
