Yorkshire Blood Bikes
White Knights Charity
Today’s speaker was Chris Parker from Yorkshire Blood Bikes, White Knights Charity. It is an entirely self- funded charity which provides a free out of hours service transporting blood plasma, tissue samples, documentation and other vital supplies between Hospitals, Hospices and supply centres around the County. They operate 52 weeks a year including Bank Holidays, Christmas Day, boxing Day and New Years Day.
Many of the members have full time jobs who give their spare time for this worthwhile Charity.
They estimate for every £1 in donations they receive they save the NHS £5. Most of the bikes they use have been donated by members of the public
They have 50 volunteer motorcyclists and are part of the Nationwide Association of Blood Bikes.
