Do you enjoy riding - Silly Question! Would you save a life if you could - Silly Question! Have you held a bike licence for more than two years? Do you have your own bike? Would you like to team up with like minded Bikers? Then what’s stopping you? Come and join North West Blood Bikes Lancs & Lakes.
If you don’t ride, can you answer a phone and work a computer? Then be a Controller for us.
2014: We helped all the hospitals save around a quarter of a million pounds which would help them give patients better care, and we helped save lives too by getting urgently wanted items to the hospitals, even donor breast milk for poorly premature babies.
Come and join us, if you find it’s not for you then you leave, no harm done and new friends made. GO ON, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO :-)

Today was the funeral of a Dear Friend of North West Blood Bikes Lancs & Lakes, Emma Grandison, wife of Ian and brother of James Robinson, one of our members, and we were privileged to be able to escort the cortege.
