An urgent volunteer service providing transportation of blood products, for free, to the NHS hospitals across Shropshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire. It’s the early hours of the morning and a hospital urgently requires blood. Hospitals within Shropshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire have little choice but to call a taxi company to collect and deliver the blood. The hospital would then be charged retail rates for the “service” which can cost between £200-300 per trip!

SSCBB transport a variety of other urgent medical items in
addition to blood products , including breast milk( which is donated by women and used to feed premature babies). This is achieved using temperature controlled boxes attached to the bikes. Furthermore, the charity is open to transporting other urgent items such as patient notes, electronic scan information and even small pieces of urgently needed surgical equipment.

One of the stated aims of the charity is to support the NHS
by the support of out-of-hours secure courier transport for any urgent medical requirements, volunteer supported and funded through private and public donation, primarily but not exclusively within Shropshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire.

With the ever increasing need for the NHS to save money but
without compromising patient care, the demands upon the charity grow each year. 

SSCBB needs to grow to meet this increasing demand. Raising funds helps to allow SSCBB to carry on their work, keeping the bikes on the road and full of fuel to offer a free service to our local hospitals.
