Good Morning Everyone,  Although a lot of SSCBB members will  know who this is a picture of there will be some who dont recognise the face in the photo.  It doesnt mean they dont know her though.  To them she will be recognisable as the voice on a telephone line at all hours of the day. A voice requesting a job to be done and a steadying hand giving advice to a new rider struggling to find a private address for a delivery.  Today is a special day for this lady and for us. Today sees her carrying out her 600th shift. That equates to 3516 hours or 146.5 days!  Congratulations and a huge thank you to Dot from all your colleagues at SSCBB.  👏👏🙂🙂⭐️⭐️

You are what this charity is all about Dot, the controllers are very much in the background compared to the riders, but without you very special people, we can't go out. Thankyou so much Dot (and all of your fellow controllers) for such fabulous dedication. ❤️

Great achievement and now you’ve completed your controller apprenticeship I’m sure you’ll be looking forward to continuing controlling 😜

I’m relatively new as a rider to SSCBB but have worked with you a couple of times - super helpful. Fantastic achievement Dot 👏👏

Congratulations Dot! Xx

Thank-you Dot. Always a pleasure to work with you.

I’ve long known this to be the toughest of jobs as one on the other end of the phone for SERV Surrey & London. We bikers get the easy bit. Congratulations for a massive shift. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Countdown has started!!

Helen's dining room is full again following more donations and the Cafe settees are no longer visible!

The sale is on Saturday and Sunday and the SSCBB teams will be at the Cafe on Friday sorting through the donations ready for you to view at the weekend and then again on Saturday and Sunday to help you.

Payments accepted by cash or card.

We are making it easier for our customers this year. The items for sale will be displayed on tables under three gazebos at the front of the Cafe and in the car park. A huge hanging rail too will be the ideal place for us to hang the jackets. So much easier to see the clothing and accessories available so you don't miss a bargain.

We are even providing a changing tent and a mirror outside. How civilised is that!!

Took in a great ladies RST jacket today and a ladies Belstaff jacket too. Both in amazing condition. Some of the donations are literally like new, some are new!! People have been extremely generous.

Dave and his staff and SSCBB look forward to seeing you and the weather is on our side so let's have an amazing weekend together.

As usual Dave is donating all the sale proceeds to our charity so whilst you visit don't forget to take advantage of the full english breakfast, the delicious cakes and the wonderful company.

We also have a special visitor on both days.
Ma Bakers, the BMW 1250RT funded by Dave at MA Baker's Cafe/Bar will be in attendance.

See you there ......

I am coming down from Liverpool on Thursday with a large selection of very (!) large pre-owned clothing. Sadly I had to stop biking a couple of years ago so pleased to have this opportunity to donate to such a worthy cause.

All the very best 🏍️

What people say about us

“The blood bikes are vital to getting our life saving faecal transplants to critically ill patients with C. dificile infection”

Professor Peter Hawkey, FMT Service Lead, PHE Public Health Laboratory Birmingham

“On a regular basis we need to transport samples urgently, between Shrewsbury and Telford, and also from here in Shropshire to Birmingham and beyond. In the past it has been quite difficult, out of hours, to get those samples moving quickly, so it has made a huge difference to us to be able to rely on blood bikes to get those samples moving for us.”

Debbie Jones, Support Services Care Group Director Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust

“The voluntary service the blood bikes offer us has been instrumental in widening the scope of our FMT service across the country and ensuring costs are a low as possible for the NHS”

Dr Vicki McCune, FMT Service Manager PHE Public Health Laboratory Birmingham

“There is certainly times when the quicker we can get results back, the better the outcome for the patient, so blood bikes are helping to save lives and, at the same time, they are saving the NHS lots of money”

Debbie Jones, Support Services Care Group Director Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust

“We are so grateful to the volunteer riders who give up their time to courier blood products and urgent samples for testing between our hospitals and the regional NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) centre in Birmingham. Every minute counts when it comes to helping seriously-ill and injured patients and being able to call on the blood bikes round the clock helps us to provide safe, effective treatment and transfusions.”

Paula Gardener, Chief Nurse Burton Hospital Trust (covering Burton, Lichfield and Tamworth)

“We very much appreciate all of their efforts and the support they give both SaTH and the wider NHS.”

Debbie Jones, Support Services Care Group Director Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust
