BLOOD BIKES MANCHESTER 

We offer an out of hours and free of charge urgent medical courier service to the NHS. We volunteer to play our part in saving peoples lives and save the NHS money that would otherwise be wasted on taxis or couriers. Our service is provided by volunteers all of which provide their spare time for no pay or reward and we depend entirely on public sponsorship and donations.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 5 occasions over the last 5 years
