NHS Blood and Transplant is set to review blood donation services.
A review is underway of the current number of blood donation sessions in Lancashire.
The review will look at potentially revising donation sessions so that they can collect more blood at larger and more accessible venues.
Donation teams run sessions in venues such as church halls, community centres and village halls across the area.
The proposal is that some sessions would have more frequent visits from the donation team, while some sessions may close.
Where possible, affected donors will be invited to donate at an alternative session, but the team said they appreciated some donors may not be able to travel.
Mike Stredder, Director of Blood Donation at NHS Blood and Transplant said: “We are very grateful to all those who give up their time to donate blood. Their generosity helps save and improve the lives of patients across the country.
