Each of our riders needs a hi-visibility jacket to ensure they are seen on the road.

Without bikes we can't deliver urgently needed blood and medical supplies to the NHS Trusts. A fully fitted Blood Bike with satellite navigation, lights, graphics, tracker and camera system costs around £20,000.

Defibrillator Replacement Pads and Battery (including prep kit) - These items need to be replaced every couple of years and pads replaced after use - £135.

A first aid kit and fire extinguisher are needed for each bike in case of an emergency.

It requires £3,000 of petrol per month to keep our bikes, and cars on the road, without fuel we cannot survive.

Vehicle Tyres - Due to the amount of miles our vehicles cover during their operational shifts we have to replace tyres more often than personal vehicles - costs vary for bikes and cars between £100-£150

Defibrillators - each car has an automatic defibrillator just in case they are ever required such as at events we attend.

We need a new Marquee to house our displays when we are fundraising in all weathers.

We are always in need of these, we place them in shops, hotels, in fact anywhere.

Our bikes costs £800 per year each to insure. It's an essential cost to keep us on the road.

Although we are known for Blood Bikes cars are used to transport larger items and are essential during bad weather such as when the temperature drops below 3 degrees as we cannot transport whole blood below that temperature. A Blood Car fully fitted ready for service including satellite navigation, lights, tracker and camera system vary in cost depending on vehicle requirements £18,000-£25,000. 

Vehicle Servicing - Similar to replacing tyres due to the mileage covered our vehicles require servicing more often than personal vehicles - costs vary for bikes and cars plus depending on what needs to be done.
