Our amazing team of shift controllers are the point of contact for any NHS organisation that requires our service. They decide, in a timely manner, which is the most appropriate shift vehicle and volunteer to pass the job to. Once the shift vehicle is ‘in flight’ the controller supports them at all times, recording their progress and they are their ‘eyes in the sky’.

All of our riders hold an advanced certificate and are the role most associated with our charity. The role is varied taking whatever the NHS requests us to transport, if it doesn’t fit on a bike we also have cars, they also attend our fundraising events and talks helping to promote our work.

£1,000 could make a big difference to the work we do. That’s why we’d be really grateful if you could nominate us in the Ecclesiastical Movement for Good awards. Your nomination could be the one that wins us £1,000.

Recycling for Northumbria Blood Bikes

You can donate all your broken and unwanted jewellery to raise money for Northumbria Blood Bikes.

If you have any gold, silver, odd earrings, broken chains, costume jewellery and watches, you can recycle them at no cost to you whilst making money for Northumbria Blood Bikes.

Yesterday, one of our volunteer’s had the pleasure of giving a virtual talk to the Bishop Auckland U3A (University of the Third Age). Our speaker John joined the group’s online meeting to share with them an insight into the work we carry out. Feedback received has been really positive and although we couldn’t present to them in person it has been great to get back to giving ‘talks’. Thank you very much to everybody who joined us for our virtual presentation.
