Our new hybrid Blood Car got a good tour of the North East for its first operational shift last night. Alongside our volunteer driver they visited the RVI, Freeman, QE, Sunderland Royal, NSECH and NHS Blood Transfusion completing 9 jobs.

Today our second hybrid vehicle, a Toyota Corolla, went into operational service​. This vehicle replaces one of our other cars, that we recently retired from the fleet, and we chose to continue our journey into the realms of hybrid vehicles.

As the white stuff falls across the region it’s business as usual for our team of volunteers out on the roads. Although our blood bikes have been stood down our blood cars take their place. Just a bit of extra time at the start of the shift to get the vehicles ready for action.

As our volunteers begin their final shifts for 2024 and take us into the new year we want to thank all our supporters.

We wish you all the very best for 2025!
