I used to donate when I was a permie and they would visit the premises to collect, but I haven't since I have been contracting.
I always found it good to go out on the lash in the evening after giving blood - they have taken away 12% of your blood so you can get 12% more pissed*.
*I know that the maths is not quite right there but I wasn't being serious.
My blood type is too common, so I don't bother. There's probably barrels of it already there for use, so my contribution probably wouldn't earn me more than a digestive and a cup of tea, even at Christmas.
Of course "O" type blood can be given to anyone so you are a universal donor.
