Nottinghamshire Blood Bikes

Nottinghamshire Blood Bikes is a Charity (Registered in England & Wales No 1155983) set up by volunteers in 2013 to provide an out-of-hours emergency transport service to the NHS, to deliver blood and other urgent medical supplies such as platelets, plasma, samples and medical records between hospitals and blood transfusion banks primarily, but not exclusively, in Nottinghamshire.In critical situations, blood or other medical items need to be delivered urgently in order to help save a patient’s life. Our vehicles, with their distinct Hi-Viz livery, can quickly but safely get through heavy traffic to reach the destination sooner.We also support the provision of donor breast milk, collecting from mothers across our region and delivering to Milk Banks, and subsequently delivering the treated, frozen milk back to our local hospitals – a vital service for the well-being of premature babies.We rely solely on our volunteers time, private donations and corporate sponsors to keep us rolling and, in return, saving the NHS thousands of pounds in transport costs so that more money can be directed to front-line services and patient care.Please consider a small donation to help us save lives.

🤩 Mapperley and Arnold Rotary Club 🤝🏼

✨ONE✨THOUSAND✨POUNDS✨

Last weekend at the Crowdpullers Motor Shows event at Wollaton Hall and Deer Park Mapperley and Arnold Rotary presented us with a cheque for a whopping £1,000 raised by their fabulous members.

This sort of money makes a significant difference to us as a charity and ensures that we can keep our fleet moving to serve the NHS.

Huge thank you to everyone for not only this donation, but to over 10 years of support for our charity 🫶🏼🤩

🤩 Volunteers Week 2026 🥰

Our final post for Volunteers week 2026 goes out to all the volunteers that give their time to support NBB. From drivers, riders, controllers, fundraisers, committee members, mental health support, membership, driving and riding instructors, graphic designers, mechanics, signwriters, IT experts, telematics, accountants and everyone else.

NBB wouldn't be the organisation that it is without the hundreds of people that support us, day in and day out.

Thank you to every single one of you 🫶

We are Nottinghamshire Blood Bikes.

BC21, Our Kathryn ❤

In 2024, Kathryn De Motte sadly passed away. She and her family raised over £6,000 for NBB through donations at her funeral as well as a donation in her will.

We used the incredible donation to buy this blood car. Kathryn has just reached 100,000 miles. As an ex-ambulance, every single mile has been to serve our NHS.

Kathryn's husband is also a volunteer driver for NBB. Her legacy lives on both through her husbands volunteering work, and through BC21 🫶
