Welcome to

North West Blood Bikes Lancashire and Lakes

Thank you for visiting our website. We hope you will continue to support the work we do.

Our mission

We aim 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 shows the number of call outs we are completing is continuing to grow. Your help in doing this is always appreciated.

Southport Auto Centre

Chris regan at Southport Autocentre on Wright Stree Southport have been enthusiastoc and generous supporters of North West Blood Bikes for a number of years. With coronavirus in retreat Chris was once again able to pay his local council to close the street for a day and organise his famous and enjoyable vintage and classic car and motorcycle show in aid of Macmillan Cancer Care who have recently moved to the street and North West Blood Bikes. Despite a rather blustery showery day the atmosphere was almost carnival like with food laid on, the legendary cake offering from Macmillan and the nostalgia of a fairground player piano. A great day out with some very rare machines on display and substantial publicity and financial support for two worthy causes,

Want to help and join us?

You can always read our Newsletters here to see what we are doing and who is supporting us. If you think you can help, come and join us. You don’t have to be able to ride a bike, although we constantly need riders, you can join us as a Controller, which basically means you stay at home and receive re-directed calls from any of our Hospitals. Then it’s a case of looking on the Duty sheets and sending a rider to do the run, or you can join us as a Fundraiser.

Whichever way you can help we will welcome you on board what we think is the best Blood Bike group in the Country. Just click the “Volunteer” button below."
