The life-saving action saw members of the group queue up to donate at Norfolk Blood Donation Centre, based in Manchester City Centre.
Youth leader Laiq Khan said: "We have been working with the National Blood Service for many years.
"We are aware of a chronic shortage of South Asian donors and we intend to do our bit to help save lives.
