Charities Supported

The Blaby & District Lions Club is itself a charity, but in addition to raising funds for community projects we also help out with fundraising for a variety of local, national and international projects and disaster relief funds.

Leicestershire & Rutland Blood Bikes

Blood Bikes are a group of volunteers who provide a free, “out of hours” courier service to public health bodies in Leicestershire & Rutland between approximately 7pm and 6am Monday to Friday, with 24 hour cover at weekends and during public holidays. The group also provides support to the local Air Ambulance, delivering blood each evening for use by the trauma teams at any incident to which they are called. In addition they will collect donated breast milk and transport it to the Womens’ Hospital in Birmingham for processing and subsequent distribution to neo-natal units.

Donations, whether they are financial, products or services, are the heart of the Leicestershire and Rutland Blood Bike group. Please get in touch with the committee if you have any donation topics you would like to chat about. Email enquiries@lrbloodbikes.org.uk
