Dacia Jogger helps Blood Bikes deliver ‘a positive’ and vital service to NHS hospitals and patients

A hundred per cent volunteer run Blood Bikes charity that travels over 375,000 miles a year and undertakes 7,000 urgent medical deliveries for NHS hospitals in Staffordshire, Shropshire and Cheshire is supplementing its motorbike fleet with four Dacia Jogger cars.

Shropshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire Blood Bikes (SSCBB) was set up in 2014 to provide free of charge urgent transport of blood, blood products and other medical items, including donated breast milk across the three counties and beyond.

SSCBB has invested in four Dacia Joggers to supplement its fleet of 18 motorcycles and support its vital operation.

The cars are used to guarantee urgent deliveries when poor weather conditions make riding a motorbike too risky, and also to transport larger items or for longer distance deliveries.

The cars also help to promote the important work the charity does by taking volunteers and equipment to fundraising events.

The Joggers have already clocked up over 20,000 miles in their first month with the charity due to icy conditions.

The Jogger was shortlisted and chosen in preference to small vans that the charity initially trialled as they felt it was more practical, provided the best value for money and could be relied upon.
