Today we join our Blood Bike family nationwide in celebrating #BloodBikeDay.
Our volunteers deliver blood and urgent medical supplies, out of hours, across the North East of England. We rarely find out who we have helped but sometimes we are met at the door by medical teams who have been awaiting our arrival as the delivery is time critical.
Friday 12th August 2022 we celebrate Blood Bike Day and we have something exciting planned. Landmarks across the North East of England will be lighting up red in support of our charity and helping us celebrate our awareness day.
If you spot a red landmark please do share your photos with us. Look out for:
Newcastle Civic Centre, the Tyne Bridge, other council owned buildings across Newcastle, Millennium Bridge Gateshead, Penshaw Monument, Northern Spire, Hylton Castle, Keel Square, High Street West Sunderland and Lighthouse (Cliffe Park).
It’s now even easier to help us raise funds for Northumbria Blood Bikes. We’ve signed up to Nectar Donate, a new initiative launched this month from the team at Nectar and Crowdfunder. This means you can now donate any or all of your Nectar points to us! You will need to link your Nectar card to your Crowdfunder account. Then simply visit our dedicated https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/nbb and when you get to the “Payment method” screen, select “Donate with Nectar”. The best thing about Nectar Donate is that it won’t cost you or us anything.
