The health service is appealing for extra blood donations before the Olympics start in July.
NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) says stocks need to be 30% higher than normal by the start of the Games.
The extra supplies are part of the contingency plans to cope with the extra visitors coming to the UK.
There are also concerns that donations may drop off during large national celebrations like the Diamond Jubilee and other major sporting events.
