Breaking News… from Whiteknights Yorkshire Blood Bikes.
Following a busy period for Whiteknights Yorkshire Blood Bikes over the festive period, we go into the first week of January with an urgent national relay with other Blood Bikes groups to transfer Pathology items from Edinburgh to St James’ Hospital Leeds.

Pictured from just moments ago whilst on the relay section from Scotch Corner to Leeds is Whiteknights Advanced – Qualified Volunteer Rider, Maurice Greenwood. Today marks the end of Maurice’s first week on duty for Whiteknights.

Speaking tonight Maurice said, “I’ve been on standby over the New-Year period from the 30th and its been very busy. I’ve received multiple call-outs and found it both challenging and exhilarating. It’s been very different from the type of volunteering I’ve done in the past – I’ve loved every minute and can highly recommend volunteering for Blood Bikes. I look forward to my next time on duty.”

Whiteknights Yorkshire Blood Bikes are delighted to announce receiving a donation from the charitable foundation of the employer of one of our advanced-qualified volunteer riders.

Peter Lenthall successfully achieved a funding award from his employer Enterprise Rent-A-Car and their charity – Enterprise Holdings Foundation.

Speaking at a recent cheque presentation at Sheffield’s Northern General Hospital, South Yorkshire Regional Manager for Whiteknights Yorkshire Blood Bikes, Debbie Fulton said: “Christmas has certainly come early for Whiteknights this year! We have received a tremendous grant of one thousand pounds from Enterprise.

“This comes at exactly the right time for us as the winter season is especially busy for us as our volunteer riders transfer urgent medical blood samples for testing during the night and at weekends.”

“As we go into the New Year we are also now recruiting volunteers again.
Any motorcyclists who would like to find out more about the voluntary service we provide to the hospitals in Sheffield can visit our website atwww.whiteknights.org.uk. We would very much like to hear from you.”
