Blood Bikes Scotland

Rotary Club of Leven donated £1000 to support the vital work of Blood Bikes Scotland

In October 2019 the club first heard about the excellent service that the charity Blood Bikes Scotland (BSS) provides to the NHS when volunteer Derrick Sachs was invited by the President to give a talk to the club.

He explained that Blood Bikes Scotland (BBS) is a charity, 100% run by volunteers which receives no NHS or Government funding.  They form part of the National Association of Blood Bikes (NABB) and cover NHS Lothian, Fife, Borders and Forth Valley providing a free courier service transporting equipment, medication, documentation and blood samples between main hospitals, community hospitals, nursing homes, labs and patients’ home addresses.  They deliver small urgent items that are required to be moved from one site to another or to a patient’s home in the community. By using motorbikes, they are able to move these items quicker than conventional four wheeled vehicles which is vital as many items are time critical.  Currently they have 8 motorbikes one of which is based in Fife.

As a result of Derrick's very informative talk, and in recognition of the valuable service the charity provides to the NHS, the club decided to make a donation of £500 to this charity.   More recently we became aware that Blood Bikes had increased their service for NHS Fife in response to the COVID 19 crisis and that the charity's funds were diminishing as they were unable to undertake any fundraising activities. Again the club stepped up and provided Blood Bikes Scotland with a further donation of £500 to allow them to continue to provide such a necessary service.
