It is with great sadness that we are announcing that our volunteer Chris Webster sadly passed away at home earlier this week. Chris was a valued member of our team and all of us at Northumbria Blood Bikes are sending our deepest condolences to his family at this difficult time. Northumbria Blood Bikes are honoured to accompany him on his final ride.

Run to make a difference this year by joining team #BloodBikesGNR. 

Our final few places are up for grabs in this year’s Great North Run. 

Take on the challenge and sign up today:

This event is being organised for those of you who wish to help keep this volunteer service on the road, our fuel costs alone are running at £5,500 per month. Your donation will help to fuel our vehicles which carry vital supplies to the local hospitals in the North of England and replenish blood supplies, 365 days a year, to the fleet of Air ambulances serving the North East and Cumbria.

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house.

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse...well except for a few devoted Blood Bike volunteers.

Unlike Santa they won’t be travelling around the globe, but around the North East of England, they will be delivering packages just as important and eagerly awaited.

So, as you wake up to open your gifts with your family in the morning they may just have delivered urgent medical supplies or blood.

That isn’t abnormal for our team but in our eyes it is just as magical in its own rights.
