We are Nottinghamshire Blood Bikes
A Charity supporting the NHS, run by unpaid volunteers
Nottinghamshire Blood Bikes - It's What We Do
Nottinghamshire Blood Bikes was formed in 2013 and is a volunteer-run charity that provides a free, out-of-hours emergency transport service for the NHS. Our team of unpaid volunteers deliver vital medical items such as blood, heel pricks, platelets, plasma, samples, and medical records between hospitals and blood transfusion banks primarily across Nottinghamshire.
We are entirely funded by donations from the public and local businesses. We help to reduce the NHS’s running costs while ensuring critical supplies reach where they’re needed most, when they’re needed most. Our mission is simple: to save money, save resources, and ultimately, help save lives.
It’s not just about motorbikes, we also rely on controllers, drivers, fundraisers, and people with all kinds of skills to keep the wheels turning.

It’s my pleasure to be able to thank you all
for the continued support offered to Pathology
and, ultimately, the patients we serve.
Nottinghamshire Blood Bikes have always stepped up to help us, from continuous overnight transport between our two main laboratory sites at the height of the pandemic lockdown,
through to the urgent movement of blood products.
Your help and support is vital in enabling our labs to function, particularly when we are most under pressure.
We thank you all for the work you do on our behalf.
