Blood provides a unique and valuable perspective on contemporary social relationships the world over due to its powerful symbolic meanings and essential role in healthcare. Its close ties to how we live and identify, our relationships and the boundaries we set become ever more prescient when it comes to the practice and perceived limitations of blood donation.

Together we celebrate life.

Join us with your family and friends for the 7 Locks Walk where we invite you to celebrate life, whether it is lives lost, people who have supported you within your own life or the NHS who take care of lives.

In the 1950s, polio terrified Americans almost as much as the atom bomb. Thanks to a 30-year global campaign, we are on the brink of eradicating polio for good – but can we ever succeed? This is a compelling story of heroes and villains, that begins in Ancient Egypt and brings in a US President, the iron lung, two brilliant scientists who hated each other’s guts, and a cutthroat race to develop an effective vaccine.

A Horsforth Village Historical Society talk at the Museum. All welcome.
