Like it or not, the NHS largely relies on taxis to transport medical essentials during the hours of 19:00 to 07:00, weekends and public holidays. Staggering but true.
Our objective is simple:
To relieve sickness and protect health by the provision of transport of
urgently needed blood, human tissues and other medical requirements between
NHS facilties.
Using specially adapted motorcycles we are able to assist local Health Authorities by providing fast, safe and efficient transport between hospitals, nursing homes and private addresses throughout the region.
Some key points:
Our service is free at every point of contact
Our costs are lower than profit making schemes so we offer more for less
Our staff are all volunteers, no-one receives a single penny for their efforts
Our riders all hold a RoSPA or IAM or similar Advanced Motorcycle qualification
All riders’ standards are assessed annually
Our riders are all trained in Emergency Response
You, your relatives, your friends, your colleagues may need us tomorrow.
What can we do for you
Depending on your level of support we can offer:

trailer
Click through banners on our website, driving business to you.
PR pieces on local and national media
Recognised community support
We attend many events throughout the year reaching a conservative 300,000
people. We would be pleased to provide you with a breakdown of the events
and demographic on request.
What you can do for us
We are always looking for volunteers; riders, coordinators, fundraisers.
We can use your expertise, financial aid or products. We have an Ebay charity
account so even if we can’t directly use your product we can use it
to generate cash.
We need around £28,000 per annum to run the service and we estimate
that this saves the NHS some £280,000.
• £300 pays for fuel for one motorcycle for one month
• £400 pays for one motorcycle’s annual insurance premium
• £600 pays for our liability insurance for a year
• £1,000 pays for six months depreciation for one motorcycle
• £2,000 pays for our motorcycle servicing costs for one year
• £7,000 enables us to buy a new motorcycle
• £7,500 enables to fully run one motorcycle for one year
Your contribution, however small, could save someone’s
