Today marks National #BloodBikeDay
This is a special day to recognise over 4,500 volunteers across the UK, and the affiliated Nationwide Association of Blood Bikes (NABB) groups who give up their time to provide a free service to our NHS.
During #VolunteersWeek, you've met just a handful of our wonderful volunteers who give their time to support our #NHS. Each of our volunteers has a similar inspiring story.
If you would like to join this wonderful team, please get in touch.

I have been a volunteer for over six years and have cherished every moment. Why? Because I am part of an amazing group of volunteers who dedicate their free time to supporting our NHS and ensure that the charity fulfils its mission!

In 2018 cancer invaded my body, the psychological battle was difficult. I needed a diversion, a focus, and to give back to the #NHS for the incredible treatment I received. I joined at the start of COVID and rode 600 hours that first year.

Did you know that Blood Bikes are not automatically exempt from using bus lanes? At the moment it’s down to each local authority whether or not Blood Bikes are allowed to use them.
