South West Blood Bikes
"South West Blood Bikes provides a free volunteer out of hours emergency courier service to the NHS"
Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes
Our mission is clear - to save lives, and improve outcomes for patients by supporting healthcare providers where rapid movement of the items we transport will achieve this.
Founded in 2018, initially servicing Plymouth in Devon, we are now expanding our service across the County.
Our charity has no paid staff, and makes no charge for our service. Every penny raised by the charity is spent directly on providing our free Blood Bike service supporting the NHS, Hospices and other medical facilities we serve. All of our volunteer riders hold advanced riding qualifications certified by either the IAM or ROSPA.
We provide our services from 1700hrs to 0700hrs weekdays, and provide 24 hour cover during weekends and public holidays. 24 hour cover is being provided during periods of national lockdown due to Covid-19.
Our vehicles comprise a fleet of 17 liveried motorcycles, supported by four 4 Wheel Drive cars and a van for use in inclement weather.

Get in touchWhat We Do
We move Whole Blood, Pathology and Microbiology samples, Donor Breast Milk, Medical Records and X-Rays, Medical Equipment and Test Kits, and medications including controlled drugs - in fact anything that is required urgently by a medical facility, providing it can fit on a motorcycle.
We are the only Blood Bike charity in Devon to have been assessed by and to currently hold membership to the Nationwide Association of Blood Bikes. This means that we have been inspected and meet or exceed their standards, and now form part of their national "Coast to Coast" relay, enabling movement of items across the country by member groups in a very short time if needed.

We are always on the look out for good people who want to join our team supporting the NHS and Hospices we service. As well as motorcycle riders and drivers, we also need controllers who are the vital link between the service users and our volunteers.
Also, we urgently need support staff for other "non operational" roles - such as Marketing, IT, Social Media and Health and Safety - as well as fundraisers to help ensure that we have sufficient funds to keep our service running. If you feel you could help, please email us!
