on #BloodBikeDay Did you know it's not just Riders who volunteer for Blood Bike Groups? Whilst the riders/drivers are visible out on the road delivering the free service to the NHS, the journey cannot start without a key operational role - the Phone Controller, these are volunteers who do not need to be able to ride/drive, but are the first contact point for the NHS Trusts by ,taking the calls to establish what is being collected, where from/going to, the urgency, and then decide which volunteer should be allocated the task, ensure the package is delivered and the volunteer returns home safely ready for the next call.
Often you will find controllers are partners, family members of riders/drivers to volunteer together. #ItsWhatWeDo
If you would like to do it, contact your local blood bike group for opportunities.
