When we first found out that the Revenants MCC were holding a fundraising night to the Great North Air Ambulance and our charity we had no idea how successful it was going to be. Their hard work paid off with a great night had by all those who attended. We certainly appreciate the efforts that went into supporting not only us by a charity we work closely with.

Dave Makepeace, Secretary for Revenants MCC, said:

Last night marked a momentous personal achievement, for one of our incredible volunteers, and all of us in the Northumbria Blood Bike family are so proud his accomplishment. 

Today we selected our newest addition to the fleet in replacement of our kangoo which unfortunately suffered a serious mechanical problem. We have purchased a Skoda Octavia Scout, this is a used ambulance responder vehicle, which will be our second automatic car in the fleet. This will put us back to a full compliment of cars in preparation for the winter months ahead. After some small graphic changes, such as green to orange, we expect her to slot straight into our operational fleet.

Northumbria Blood Bikes are delighted to announce they have bagged £4,000 from Tesco’s Bags of Help community grant scheme.

Our volunteers were delighted to be invited to Tesco Durham Extra for a cheque handover with the store’s Community Champion Joanne Reay. The store has been extremely supportive of our charity over the past few years and this money will enable us to purchase a new Blood Bike.
