On 2nd May 2019 we will have been operational for 7 years and will have responded to 64,000 call outs.
All our 423 Members have done an amazing job, either controlling the riders, or being a rider, or fundraiser and spreading the word about who we are.

We rarely get to know who we’ve helped get the speedy item transported for, but with so many call outs we must have helped thousands of patients.
None of our volunteers get paid, we all do it for free, very often putting our own hands in our own pockets, but the donations from members of the public and especially organisations like the Freemason, Rotary, Women’s Institute and local and National businesses, local groups, as well as other charities, has been phenomenal.
