Lindsay Johns is lying on a reclining chair in Tooting, south London, with a needle in his arm. He’s giving platelets – as he has done every two weeks for more than a decade. On the wall opposite him is a poster pleading for more black and Asian blood donors, a call which often goes unheeded. Exasperated, Lindsay is now setting out to find out why rates of blood donation are so low amongst people of colour like him. First broadcast on The Black Blood Donor Crisis, 5 August 2019.
