donate & date Mechelen

Experience a special evening full of new connections at donate & date, a collaboration between dare and the Rode Kruis in Mechelen.

When you arrive, our hosts will give you a warm welcome and make sure you feel comfortable right away. Then it’s time for a series of fun and relaxed speed dates. No endless swiping, just real conversations with singles who, just like you, are open to meeting new people. In between your dates, you’ll have the opportunity to donate blood or plasma.
Expect warm conversations, a great atmosphere and, who knows, an unexpected connection. Afterwards, you can stick around for an after-drink and get to know each other a little better.

Since we’re starting early in the evening (6 PM), we’ll provide sandwiches for all participants. That way, you can enjoy your dates without going hungry.

So, ready for an evening that means just that little bit more? Meet new people, do something meaningful for others and join us for a special evening in Mechelen. 🩸


When you sign up, we do expect you to donate blood or plasma during the event. This way, you’re not only joining an evening full of new encounters, but also helping people who truly need it.
