Check out the area we cover – if you are outside of this area take a look at the National Association of Blood Bikes for other groups around the country.
- We all operate as separate groups and have slightly different requirements for joining.
- We work closely with other groups via NABB to fulfil the same aim.
- There are new groups setting up all around the country and not all are yet part of NABB. Often a quick search on the Inter-web thingy will find a group close to you.
We don’t have a waiting list, but we will have a number of people going through our induction period at any one time, so it may take a few weeks before we can start this with you.
We want whatever time you have! Or whatever time you feel you can give.
- Many of our volunteers have full time jobs. Most of our volunteer work is outside of the usual office hours.
- Some volunteers even find time to partake in their local bike groups as well.
- We also have a merry band of volunteers that are now retired from their day job.
- Don’t forget its not all about riding – we also have volunteers who just love fundraising and others that just answer the phones!
