OPU collections in Cumbria alternate between our practice at Newbiggin, Penrith and a local on farm facility in Kirby Thore.

At Newbiggin we have capacity for 7 residential donors and any number of day patients. Our brand new collection room caters for non halter trained donors.

Our on farm facility in Kirby Thore can house up to 50 residential donors.
