We currently have 15 liveried blood bikes, situated strategically across the three counties in secure locations, often at fire stations or within hospital grounds. Many of our bikes have been funded by the generosity of organisations, Trusts and companies but the running costs are met by our own fundraising efforts 🏍 All our #BloodBikes have names, often associated with a person who has influenced our charity in some way! #SSCBB 🙂 Read the story behind each of our bikes here: ...

Last night over 40 members of SSCBB gathered at Ma Baker's Biker cafe at Prees for the launch of a new blood bike . Funded by a very generous legacy of nearly £40,000 from a Shrewsbury man, Michael Sproat (pictured), we have named this new Moto Guzzi 'Christian' . We knew very little about Mike, except that he had a great fondness for motor bikes even though he never owned one himself and he was a devout Christian (hence the choice of name). Mike had no family but friends of his joined the 'unveiling', Peter, who worked with Mike and his wife Sylvia, Elisa who used to take Mike out on her Trike and Barry, a member of the Christian Motorcyclists Association (all pictured with Lynne S). Much tea and cake was consumed courtesy of Dave at Ma Baker's! The new bike will be located in Shropshire. Lovely to see so many of our members together for the first time in ages. ... See MoreSee Less
That is brilliant, and what a legacy, May Michael's caring soul be resting in the light perpetual and quiet reassurance that we will all meet again at the final handover bathed in God's Glorious Sunlight deepest condolences to all who knew him ,and may your riders always ride "Christian" with the sure knowledge that you're being watched over. Stay safe from the ex job mob NHS Medic Certa Cito IAF Brother 🇬🇧 and all the team at Blood Bikes Manchester bbmcr.org
Are they selling an elephant?

Tim Salt You are regularly advertising your work with them yet on your social media profiles you are rude, and insulting to people who are not only potentially donors but also recipients. You called one person a 'muppet' and another a 'silly person'. Social media works both ways princess

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
