funding
Norfolk Blood Bikes relies solely on donations from the general public and support from local businesses.
We are proud to say that the Trustees, Committee and Members are all volunteers and draw no income from the Charity. Because of this our administration costs are kept as low as possible.
However, It costs around £5000 per month for Norfolk Blood Bikes to continue to support our local Hospitals and with the ever increasing need for the NHS to save money without compromising patient care, the demands upon the charity grow each year.
costs
All of the funds raised go toward the running costs of the group. Here are just a few examples of the things we have needed to buy and will have to replace as they age:
Fundraising
We have a dedicated Fund Raising Team who organise and attend numerous events throughout the year.
That team is supported by the other Members. Riders and Drivers will accompany them with the vehicles and Controllers will provide additional 'manpower' to talk to the public and hold the donation cans.
You will see us about in the local community :
We are always happy to accept donations and explain to the public what we do at these events.
sponsorship
Norfolk Blood Bikes welcomes sponsorship from companies or other charitable organisations.
As you can imagine there are numerous ways that an organisation can sponsor us. From single donations to ongoing support. Therefore our sponsorship packages are tailored to suit. Sponsorship can include:
An acknowledgement for your contribution on our website and social media sites.
Photo opportunities with a motorbike/car, handing over the cheque for your corporate publicity and the press.
If a vehicle is funded, your name/logo will be displayed on the bike as minimum. It is a traditional that organisation or individuaas that fully fund, or provide, a vehicle have the honour of naming it.
Other publicity measures as agreed.
