Welcome to
Thank you for visiting our website. We hope you will continue to support the work we do.
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 till 02.00 every night and also from 7am to 7pm 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 around a staggering 1000 per month. Each one of these calls saves the local NHS the cost of paid-for transport that is then available for patient care. Your help to continue the mission is always appreciated.
Please Donate Here.In Autumn 2024 communications company giffgaff once again invited their customer community to consider donating their promotional payback to charity and to nominate potential recipient charities. This was a national initiative with many well-known and worthy charity names mentioned. NWBB featured on that list, subsequently made the short list, and were ultimately voted as the favourite beneficiary by the giffgaff Community!
In February 2025, as a result of these generous donations, spread across the whole of the UK, and the resultant match-funding from the giffgaff company, North West Blood Bikes Lancs& Lakes has now received a payment of £12117.60
Thank you giffgaff community. We will continue to answer the call from NHS and associated healthcare providers.

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."
