Northumbria Blood Bikes is a charity established by local volunteers to deliver essential blood and urgent medical supplies between hospitals and other healthcare sites in North East England.  Covering Northumberland, Tyne and Wear & County Durham.

Outside normal office hours, hospitals rely on taxis or couriers to transfer urgent medical supplies or test samples between hospitals and other sites. Blood Bike groups, across the country, offer to carry out this service free of charge, ensuring the limited resources of the NHS can be used where it makes a difference. Northumbria Blood Bikes' funding comes entirely from charitable donations, and the service is provided solely by volunteers.
