When Richard is not working......which is not often! He volunteers his time to North West Blood Bikes.
North West Lancs and Lakes Blood Bikes
Our mission
The aim is to provide a totally free, but professional, voluntary service, out of normal working hours for the transportation of Urgent and Emergency items, e.g. blood, platelets, samples, donor breast milk, patient notes, theatre equipment, in fact anything that can be carried by motorcycle, solely for the benefit of the publicly funded emergency services and the patients being treated by them, within the NHS Hospitals.
We will provide this service through the night, and 24 hours per day at weekends and Bank Holidays, to the best of our ability, enabling hospital funding to be better spent on patient care.
We started operating in May 2012 and as the counter on our website shows the number of call outs we are completing is continuing to grow. Your help in doing this is always appreciated.
There are no payed members in this charity and we rely on kind donations to continue operating this vital service. Please visit the website and help in anyway you can.
