Why I volunteer…
I met up with an old advanced driving tutor friend (Peter M) who I hadn’t seen for a while who introduced me to Northumbria Blood Bikes and I joined in April 2018.
I’m currently a driver, controller and occasionally I’ve attended fundraisers. I have also given a couple of talks to schools.
I’m now retired but as well as NBB I’m still and advanced driving tutor for both Durham and Tynedale ROSPA GROUPS so I allocate my time accordingly.
The best thing about NBB is the cameraderie, not just with NBB but also all the NHS staff and paramedics.
It’s always rewarding especially when delivering to a hospital and the medical staff are waiting for the delivery.
Volunteering for NBB is always rewarding and it’s feels good to assist the NHS in a small way.
My name is Tom and that’s why I volunteer for Northumbria Blood Bikes.”
