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. (this is known as the B.O.B run (Blood On Board) and was the brain child of Dr Rachel Hawes to help save lives when time is a matter of life and death.
Celebrating 10 years since Northumbria Blood Bikes (Registered Charity No.1166689) first shift which began 'live operations' of the charity at 1900hrs on 03/02/2014.
Tonight our newest car enters operational duty and will be on its first ever shift helping to improve the healthcare journeys of those living in the North East. We welcome this vehicle and give our heartfelt gratitude to, the lady who made this possible, Ann Norma Seaman. We have named this vehicle in her memory and hope that knowing this vehicle will be used to help to save lives gives some comfort to those who knew and loved her.
