Our charity is run entirely by volunteers and relies on these volunteers to undertake all tasks. The majority of our operational work is out of hours during unsociable hours overnight and at weekends. They work very closely with our Shift Controllers and use technology to record activities.
Our riders and driver are very active, transporting goods from the hospitals, and working with fellow volunteers to deliver an operational service. In 2023 our volunteers completed over 3,100 shifts, travelled over 266,000 miles and completed 12,448 jobs. The item we transported the most last year was blood samples.
All of our riders and drivers have their advanced riding/driving qualifications, undertake yearly assessments and other regular training. They are dedicated and hardworking with each having their own individual reasons for wanting to support the NHS.
