Service by Emergency Response Volunteers, Suffolk & Cambridgeshire (SERVSC), also known as the Bloodrunners, provides an essential service to local NHS Hospitals, Air Ambulance Services, Human Donated Milk Banks, hospices, pharmacies and vulnerable patients by transporting urgently needed blood, blood products, patient samples, donated human milk, medicine and medical equipment.

SERVSC was launched in May 2011 with Ipswich Hospital closely followed by West Suffolk Hospital.  They started delivering to Peterborough City Hospital, Papworth and Hinchingbrooke Hospitals in 2012.

In August 2012, they launched the Donor Baby Milk Service.  This involves the collection and delivery of donated human milk used to support premature babies in the hospital maternity units of Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and, when requested, throughout the UK.

In 2019, SERV Suffolk & Cambridgeshire was delighted to be awarded the Queens Award for Voluntary Service (QAVS).

During 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic caused a significant increase in workload so they decided to increase their availability to 24 hours a day, every day and to become a Charity Incorporated Organisation.

SERVSC now has approximately 160 volunteers. Duty controllers take the calls and organise the volunteer motorcyclists and car drivers. They give their time and mostly use their own vehicles free of charge, to deliver items to where they need to be within hours. SERVSC receives no government funding, its costs being met by donations from members of the public, local businesses, charitable grants and awards. There are no paid staff.

SERV Suffolk & Cambridgeshire is a registered charity, number 1189346.

Note that you can reduce or remove Justgiving's fee - it is entirely voluntary.
