Freewheelers would like to thank the Lions Clubs of Cheddar Vale, Clevedon, and Weston-super-Mare, who have donated a set of insulated boxes for use at the new Human Breast Milk Bank at Southmead Hospital.

The boxes have thick walls to ensure that up to 25 bottles of frozen breast milk can be stored at a safe temperature. When the new milk bank opens, the boxes will be used by Freewheelers to transport frozen milk bottles from donor's homes to the hospital where they will be screened, pasteurised and re-frozen. They will also be used to transport frozen processed milk from the milk bank to special care baby units and neonatal intensive care units across the South West of England. In the meantime, before the Southmead milk bank opens, the boxes are being put to good use taking milk to and from the nearest milk bank in Oxford.
