Midland Freewheelers is a charitable organisation
registered with the Charity Commission, Reg No. 1132369. We are a group of
motorcycling enthusiasts and volunteers who provide a free Emergency/Urgent
out-of-hours courier service for NHS hospitals and Trusts in Birmingham and
surrounding areas.
As a free voluntary service we undertake to deliver any
medical item provided it can be carried safely and securely by motorcycle.
Medical items can include blood, human tissue, documents, patient records and x-rays
etc. Where appropriate they will be carried in accordance with UN3373.
Operating hours are 19:00 hrs to 06:00 hrs Monday to
Friday and 24 hours on Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays.
Every rider is a volunteer for Midland Freewheelers and
has to be qualified to advanced motorcyclist level with either RoSPA or IAM.
Midland Freewheelers is a charitable organisation which
is actively seeking to expand service delivery to other hospitals in our area.
Consequently we are continually in need of additional resource. If you feel
that you would like to volunteer to either ride, coordinate or provide help
with administration or fundraising etc, then please see our “Join Us” page for further details.
We rely solely on donations and sponsorship to keep our
service running and are grateful to wemoto.com
who provide us with serviceable parts and Black Country Motorcycle Training who keep our bikes
on the road.
