To provide free transport services to the NHS where no free alternative is available to enhance operational requirements and patient care
We transport blood products, samples for analysis, paperwork, medication, donor human breast milk, equipment and other items used by the NHS between hospitals, NHSBT sites, Milk Banks and medical centres / surgeries typically across Nottinghamshire, but occasionally further afield
In planning the activities to achieve our aims, the Trustees pay due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit
All of our work is carried out by unpaid volunteers who give up their time freely with the intention of benefitting the NHS and aiding patient care. Our regular working hours have now extended so that we are operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year
Our free services and constant availability contribute towards significant savings for the NHS which can then be directed towards front-line patient care
Additionally, the excellent reputation we have built up over many years has resulted in our charity taking on new and unique ways of helping NHS patients, such as enabling GP surgeries to extend their opening hours so suit the changing needs of residents across Nottinghamshire.
