Leicestershire & Rutland Blood Bikes is a registered charity run entirely by volunteers.

What we do:

Our group of volunteers provide a free, “out of hours” courier service to public health bodies in Leicestershire & Rutland between approximately 7pm and 5am Monday to Friday, with 24 hour cover at weekends and during public holidays.

We are not an emergency service but work with the hospitals to meet their transport needs in an efficient and timely manner.

We transport blood, blood products, pathology samples, patient notes, x-rays, patient scans, surgical equipment, in fact anything where there is an immediate need to transport an item that will directly benefit patient care.

The group also provides support to the local Air Ambulance, delivering blood each evening for the use with patients with severe traumas.

In addition:

We collect human milk from donating mothers in Leicestershire and Rutland and transport it to the Women’s Hospital in Birmingham for processing and subsequent distribution to neo-natal units. (see separate tab at the top of the page for link to Birmingham Women’s hospital)

We support LOROS Hospice in Leicester with the collection and delivery of patient blood samples where testing is required at NHS laboratories
