Northumbria Blood Bikes is celebrating after receiving a £300 donation from the GALAXY Hot Chocolate Fund. After a mere 3 days of voting we received news from GALAXY Hot Chocolate Fund that we had been successful in gaining enough votes to be selected as recipients of the £300 donation. Thank you to everybody who helped us with this vote.

GALAXY Hot Chocolate is looking to help small, local community groups and charities across the UK and Ireland by donating cash awards to support warm-hearted people and projects. Michelle Frost, spokeswoman for GALAXY Hot Chocolate said: “We know that across the UK and Ireland smaller charities and community groups are struggling to make ends meet despite the efforts of a huge number of warm-hearted volunteers. “The GALAXY Hot Chocolate Fund aims to give them a helping hand and hopefully inspire more people to get involved.” Open for entries until February 28 2016, the Fund will distribute five £300 awards to deserving recipients every week.  Applications to the fund can be made on the GALAXY Hot Chocolate website www.galaxyhotchocolate.com.
