As a member of the  Nationwide Association of Blood Bikes  (NABB) we form part of a national network of blood bike groups. We work in partnership with other groups to help transport urgently needed medical items nationwide (and sometimes further).

In 2023 we took part in 2,600 relays. Carrying everything from donated breast milk to blood samples for patients awaiting transplant. All free of charge to the NHS.

 

It’s less than a month until we have the honour to lead the Great North Run again. This year we have 30 runners as part of #TeamBloodBikes who will be #runningtomakeadifference for our charity. We wish them well in their final weeks of training.

 

Like many Blood Bike charities around the country we regularly deliver donated human milk on behalf The Human Milk Foundation, The Hearts Milk Bank and The Milk Bank at Chester. This involves volunteers collecting milk from donors, relaying with other groups, delivering to milk hubs or milk banks and to hospitals that request a delivery. 

Today we are celebrating #BloodBikeDay and this year’s theme is #GoingBeyond

Today five Blood Bikes groups took part in a national relay.

** 360 Challenge 2024 **

We are very excited to announce that the grand total is...

£5063.25.

Thank you to everyone who took part in our annual event and all those who sponsored the participants. We really appreciate your support of our charity!
