Whiteknights Yorkshire Blood Bikes

Whiteknights Yorkshire Blood Bikes is a Blood Bikes charity which operates in Yorkshire.

It was set up by biker Vic Siswick in 2008 when he noticed a lack of sample delivery provision at night while he was suffering from cancer. There are 60 volunteers, all advanced motorcyclists who deliver urgent samples outside normal NHS hours. Running costs of the charity are about £40,000 a year, which is used for fuel and maintenance of the charity’s seven motorbikes, which each do up to 20,000 miles a year.

The service operates between 7pm and 7am every weekday.
