As last minute nerves are creeping in and excitement builds ahead of tomorrow’s Great North Run we want to say good luck and thank you to our team of runners taking part. 

Every penny you have raised will truly make a difference and go directly into keeping our service on the road supporting the NHS. 

Thank you to everyone who attended our Afternoon Tea at SNODS EDGE HALL this year - you’ve helped raise £745.40 for our charity.

Special thanks go out to our team of volunteers, our fabulous bakers and those individuals and businesses who kindly donated prizes for our tombola. 

Global welding certification and inspection authority NECIT supports the hard work and dedication of North East charity Northumbria Blood Bikes with the generous donation of a signed Sunderland football and shirt to aid in their fundraising efforts.

We are very grateful to our volunteers for the time they give to our charity. Every three months we have the honour to present our volunteers with recognition awards for achieving milestone shift totals. 

Last night we awarded Jeff and Kevan their ‘Bronze Award’ for completing 25 shifts, Peter and Alan their ‘Silver Award’ for completing 50 shifts, John and Tony their ‘Gold Award’ for completing 100 shifts, Peter, Tom and Rob their ‘Gold/Red Award’ for completing 200 shifts and Paul his ‘Crystal Award’ for completing 500 shifts.
