Essex Voluntary Blood Service

In 2022 they were able to make over 8,100 deliveries to help patients in need. Alongside hospitals, they also work with milk banks and neonatal units to deliver donated breastmilk to babies across Essex.

A grant from us supported their running costs and provided additional equipment for volunteers. This has allowed another of their transport blood bikes to get back on the road, which is ultimately saving more lives.
