The spooky season is creeping closer… and our Ghost Walks are BACK at Walkergate Durham this October!
There's only two walks, and places fill up really fast — so don’t miss your chance to join us!
Sun 18th Oct at 5pm
Sun 25th Oct at 5pm
Prepare for eerie tales, creepy encounters and plenty of chills along the way. And the best part? Every walk is raising funds for Northumbria Blood Bikes.
The Great North Run 2026 is finally here.
We would like to say a final good luck to all our runners taking part.
Our rider is ready to lead the start of the run and our cheering team are ready at the 10 mile mark. Barry is ready to take photos along the route and even met the Prime Minister who is taking part today.
As last minute nerves are creeping in and excitement builds ahead of tomorrow’s Great North Run we want to say good luck and thank you to our team of runners taking part.
Every penny you have raised will truly make a difference and go directly into keeping our service on the road supporting the NHS.
The best advice we can give is enjoy every moment. It’s going to be tough but soak up the atmosphere and the crowds of supporters will help see you through those 13.1 miles.
It started with an unexpected blustery Friday but our team had a fantastic weekend, as always, at Stormin the Castle. We got to catch up with old friends and meet some lovely new ones.
We’ve heard lots of stories from people who know blood bikes have helped their friends and family. Plus, chatted to fellow blood bikers from Blood Bikes Cumbria, Blood Bikes Scotland, Whiteknights Yorkshire Blood Bikes, Dumfries & Galloway Blood Bikes, Blood Bikes Wales, North West Blood Bikes Lancs & Lakes and Derbyshire Blood Bikes (sorry if we missed any, it’s been a busy weekend).
Thank you to everyone who attended our Afternoon Tea at SNODS EDGE HALL this year - you’ve helped raise £745.40 for our charity.
Special thanks go out to our team of volunteers, our fabulous bakers and those individuals and businesses who kindly donated prizes for our tombola.
We were recently contacted by Ann who had been selling her craft ware for charity and wanted to donate a fantastic £302.50 to our charity.
Thank you very much for choosing to support our charity Ann!
Global welding certification and inspection authority NECIT supports the hard work and dedication of North East charity Northumbria Blood Bikes with the generous donation of a signed Sunderland football and shirt to aid in their fundraising efforts.
We would like to wish our volunteer Peter the best of luck with his Iron Butt 1000 Challenge tomorrow.
Peter is taking on this challenge in memory of his step son Ben and is raising money for Royal British Legion, Northumbria Blood Bikes and The Royal Signals Charity.
Good luck Peter!
