Yesterday five Blood Bikes groups took part in a national relay of samples. This run is usually completed by Civil Air Support however due to the unpredictable weather they were unable to complete it on this occasion.

Our thanks go out to St Columbas United Reformed Church in North Shields, who run a group called Here And Now Doing Something or HANDS for short, after they raised £500 at a coffee morning for our charity.

As the white stuff falls across the region it’s business as usual for our team of volunteers out on the roads. Although our blood bikes have been stood down our blood cars take their place. Just a bit of extra time at the start of the shift to get the vehicles ready for action. 

Merry Christmas to you all!
