Our March speaker was Elaine Bivins who gave us a very interesting insight into Blood Bikes. This is an amazing Charity who deliver not only blood but vital supplies including breast milk to hospitals all over the country. Elaine and Paul work voluntary in the Leicester and Rutland area. They rely on donations not only of money but bikes, equipment and even vans. The volunteers work shifts, picking up the chosen vehicle at a named centre and then delivering the necessary products.They often meet at county borders to take the much need supplies to hospitals further away. This saves the NHS millions of pounds in transport and man hours.The members donated over £100 at the meeting.
