Question 3

Do you receive government or NHS funding?

Accepted Answer

No—we are 100% volunteer-run and donation-funded. We rely on public support, fundraising events, corporate sponsorships, and community partnerships to keep our service running.

From local events and JustGiving pages to supermarket collections and company charity partnerships, we’re always open to creative ways to raise funds.

Question 4

What bikes do NERVS riders use?

Accepted Answer

Our riders use charity-owned motorcycles, not their personal bikes. Our fleet is made up of reliable touring motorcycles ideal for long-distance work in all weather. We currently run models such as:
BMW R1250RT
Triumph 660

These bikes are fully liveried with high-visibility markings, custom racks for transporting medical materials, and panniers for added capacity.

Question 5

How do you carry blood and other medical supplies?

Accepted Answer

We use specially insulated boxes mounted to our bikes to maintain stable temperatures for blood, plasma, or platelets. These are securely attached using custom racks. Panniers are used for non-temperature-sensitive items like paperwork, pathology samples, or small medical instruments. Frozen breast milk is transported using specialised coolers designed for the job.

Question 6

How can I donate to NERVS?

Accepted Answer

There are lots of ways to support us, whether it’s a one-off donation, a fundraising event, or setting up a regular gift. Visit our donate page to find out more, or contact our Fundraising Lead at: info@nervs.org.uk
