CHARIT Y S E VERN FRE EWHE E L ERS


LIVE 24-SEVEN


78 FULLY FUNDED CAR DONATED TO BLOODBIKE CHARITY. . . .


The Province of Gloucestershire & Herefordshire Mark Master Masons have officially handed over a fully funded 4x4 vehicle to enable Severn Freewheelers, the local Bloodbike group, to deliver fresh blood supplies to the Midlands Air Ambulance base to enable them to carry out emergency blood transfusions at the scene of an incident.


Severn Freewheelers can now deliver, return and replenish whole Blood from Worcester Royal Hospital blood bank to the Midland Air Ambulance operational base at Strensham every 48 hours and during emergencies. The multi-purpose vehicle will also be used to deliver and transport frozen human milk from the donor to the milk banks and special baby care units when the quantity exceeds the capacity for a motorcycle, as well as enabling them to continue their work during bad weather when conditions are too dangerous for motorcycle use.


Severn Freewheelers is a motorcycle based, free delivery service to the NHS; moving vital medical supplies, from blood, tissue


samples, documentation and other vital medical supplies between Hospitals, Hospices and Supply Centres in Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and North Wiltshire.


These unsung heroes are all volunteers and are on call 365 days a year, 7pm until 7am weekdays and 24hrs at weekends. Severn Freewheelers deal with around 400 calls per month on emergency response BMW R1200RTs. They make a significant personal sacrifice to help others, which has a positive impact on local community. Their aim is to alleviate suffering and to save the NHS hundreds of thousands of pounds in courier costs, so that it can be spent on frontline patient care.
