In 2016 we were delighted to introduce 'Mark Master Mason' a Honda Pan European to our fleet after we received a generous donation of £18,000 from the National Mark Benevolence Funds of the Masons. This donation not only purchased the bike but also kitted it out to become a blood bike and funded fuel for its first year in service. Since beginning its life of service, 7 years ago, the bike has completed over 86,000 miles and completed thousands of jobs across our region as well as representing our charity at countless events.

This grant began the much larger support from Mark Benevolence Funds which has seen grants awarded to our wider blood bike family around the country and to date they have awarded £497,146 to blood bikes charities.

Unfortunately, 'Mark Master Mason' needs uneconomical repair work in order to continue its life in service so we would like to wish it a very happy retirement. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Freemasons not only for providing us with the funds for this initial purchase but their continued support of our charity.
