‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house.

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse...well except for a few devoted Blood Bike volunteers.

Unlike Santa they won’t be travelling around the globe, but around the North East of England, they will be delivering packages just as important and eagerly awaited.

So, as you wake up to open your gifts with your family in the morning they may just have delivered urgent medical supplies or blood.

That isn’t abnormal for our team but in our eyes it is just as magical in its own rights.
