The team behind a life-saving North East charity is always in need of volunteers who can transport blood around our region, at speed.
The Northumbria Blood Bikes charity - which transports vital blood supplies between North East hospitals during evenings and weekends - weathered the storm of the Covid-19 pandemic. But with some volunteers stepping back and fuel prices rising, the charity is always searching for new riders and ways to find the £80,000 a year needed to operate.
NBB, which won the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service in 2017, also transports blood to the Great North Air Ambulance on a daily basis. The charity was founded in 2012, became operational in 2014 and is part of the Nationwide Association of Blood Bikes.
