We are always looking for volunteers to help with the service. If you can spare a little of your time then we would be pleased to welcome you to join us.
Firstly, we need people that can help with fundraising. As you might have guessed the service cannot run without the money raised by our members and fundraising is perhaps the most important thing that we do. From shaking a tin outside your local supermarket to visiting big business to ask for sponsorship. At £4,000 to run a bike for a year the fundraising never stops.
Dispatchers are an important cog in the machine. As a dispatcher you would have one of our mobile phones with you for a week. During that time you would be expected to field calls from hospitals, plan a route and send the rider to the relevant location. Calls can come in from 7 in the evening till 7am the next morning although the bulk of the work is in the early evening so don't worry, you wont loose very much sleep!
If you would like to ride the bike you would store the bike at your home for a week, during which time you would be responsible for any jobs that are called in 7pm-7am and all day at the weekend. Obviously you will need somewhere safe to store the bike and be willing to drive through all weathers. Before starting out we provide a 'check ride' and offer routes to further training should you need it.
