I’ve now been told I can no longer donate because of the 2 year break, this seems crazy as they are crying out for more blood.

it’s nice you still consider, but it depends on the medical facility which will proceed the donation. safeblood does not operate its own facilities for this purpose, so depending on who and where it is, they will accept you or not 🙂

I donated for many years and would like to do so again.

this depends on the facility which will perform the donation; some will accept you, others not. in general, if you are healthy, i don’t see why not…
