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.
