“A friend of mine volunteered for a blood bike group in the South of England and hearing about what he was involved with and the role he played in their group really interested me so I searched to see if there was something similar local to me and I discovered NBB.
“I heard about the charity through a friend who volunteers for another Blood Bike group in the South West.
We are both keen motorcyclists and are also keen to give to charity. What a great idea to do both. I have always admired volunteers and their dedication to a cause. I joined in March 2024 and became a rider for the first time in the October.
“I was first introduced to the work of Northumbria Blood Bikes (NBB) when attending a fire station open day with my grandson, the NBB volunteers described the valuable work done by the organisation.
A neighbour who has a shared interest in motorbikes mentioned the service which he had involvement with and it sparked an interest in me to enquire and pursue it.
