Blood Bikes Wales

This morning Nev, Hugh, John, and Wayne (Wrexham) went along to Broughton District History Group to give a talk on "The Story of Blood Bikes"

The talk went down very well, and the Group gave us a donation of £45 which was increased by a bucket collection to a total of £216.06

We even collected some future talk bookings for other groups.

Yesterday was International Charities Day, we took the opportunity to thank you our supporters for your generosity helping us do what we do! 🏍️

We thought we’d share with you today feedback from one of the health authorities we support with our free courier service

Please take a look at this wonderful feedback from Hywel Dda Bronglais Hospital

“During our meeting I was informed that thanks to our routine weekday pathology runs over the past 13 months, Bronglais Blood Sciences has not spent a single penny on Bronglais to Glangwili sample transfer by outside couriers. Every sample run has been completed by NHS transport or Blood Bikes Wales. That is a huge saving to Hywel Dda.

Not only that, but the samples we transport at 15:00 every weekday are processed, and results returned to patients, 24 hours sooner than they would be if moved by the next scheduled NHS transport."

We are making a difference. We are helping our NHS.
Thank you once again for your donations, volunteer hours, and support.

Daniel and Fozzie sent us these photos on the 20th July. They appear to have been taken at one of our stands on a very soggy day.

We believe this to be Fozzie who is obviously a biker.
