I've had something similar happen and they have to stop and send you home after you might have been waiting an hour. I said just try the other arm but they wouldn'tIve been in and out due to travel (pre covid) and being bone marrow donor candidate.
Today the lass totally missed my vein and just stabbed my arm... got to wait a couple of weeks before i can try again
Knocked that on head few yrs ago now i think as official policy... but im coming off a broken non donor arm so i was not to keen on her tryingI've had something similar happen and they have to stop and send you home after you might have been waiting an hour.

I take my recycle waste when the bin is fullWorst are people who dump all their household junk outside charity shops and think they've saved the world.
Yeah and you get paid for it?
Having worked for a couple of charities in the past, it amazes me how much money gets wasted. Would never happen in a normal business where the bosses are spending their own money. There was 5 people doing jobs in one place that I could have done them all myself and still had a day off a week.
the missus has a small monthly DD to cancer based charities after her dad died of cancer young. I coordinate an annual charity week with Year 12 students where they select a charity and carry out lots of events to raise money. Usually raise anything between 10 and 20k each year.
If more people had your attitude, the world would be a much better place.I get paid to be a charity fundraiser, yes. It amazes me that I still have to explain this to people.
I have a set of skills to raise money for charity which many do not.
I am paid to use these skills to bring in thousands of pounds for the charity which if I didn't, the activities of the charity couldn't happen.
If you're good at something, never do it for free - The Joker.
Do tell...
Also do you think big businesses don't waste money? Course they do. Millions of it.
Excellent work with the Year 12. Shame I'm not in your area, you could have done it for my charity!
I donate to St Oswalds hospice occassionly.
I would NEVER donate to any big national charities eg Cancer research, heart foundation, help for heroes etc as imo too much £££ is skimmed of before it reaches the people it was intended for.
There's a reason there are so many charities.
Too many people making a fortune from them. Legal corruption and fraud
If more people had your attitude, the world would be a much better place.

So same as a cold caller salesman. You’re making a business money which is 99% of British workforce role.

I wouldn’t name the charity, but they had someone on secondment putting in a six figure it system which was imo completely unnecessary. A finance director, no idea what they did. A financial controller, who to be fair did most of the work and 3 accounts clerks who put together a load of unnecessary paperwork that nobody ever looked at. The charity did, and still does great work just has a lot of waste. Oh and the owner of the agency that put be in there for a couple of months Just happened to be on the board at the charity and do you think they got a discount?I get paid to be a charity fundraiser, yes.
