We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone that took the time and put lots of effort into their entries for this year's design our Christmas card competition. As with most things this year we had to hold an online selection panel with our volunteers and they had the hard task of selecting their favourite. Unfortunately, we didn't receive any adult entries but that did mean we could then choose two children's entries as this year's winners. Sorry to those who didn't have their design chosen but we hope you join in again next year.

As our volunteers prepare for their evening shift they are taking extra precautions by donning stinking rose, wolfsbane and an apotropaic mark. There will be no time for trick or treating, for our team, when the NBB signal beckons for their help they will ward off any creatures lurking in the dark of All Hallows’ Eve under the blue moon.

We have extended our design our Christmas card competition to midday on Friday 30th October 2020.

How to enter

You can produce your design in any way you wish. For example it could be a drawing, painting, collage or a photograph.

Your design should preferably fit into a square shape on an A4 sheet to ensure it looks the same when reproduced as an e-card.

Hair today and gone tomorrow

During lockdown local lass Pat Carrick faced having to grow out her long black locks with hairdressers being closed. Rather than rush to get booked in for it to be coloured she decided to brave the chop and raise money for charity in the process. As an ex-biker she had met our volunteers at an event 3 years ago and chose to support Northumbria Blood Bikes with her sponsored haircut.

We are extremely pleased to announce that funding from the Coronavirus Community Support Fund, distributed by the National Lottery Community Fund, has helped us to cover the running costs of our charity for the next 6 months. This is enabling us to continue our service without worrying about how we have been significantly impacted by the loss of fundraising this year.

Unfortunately our bike is not leading the elite runners to the finish line of the Great North Run nor are our team of runners going to be running from Newcastle to South Shields tomorrow. Like many plans this year things have changed and instead the Great North Run launched their virtual version with an app including the iconic sounds associated with the run.
