strate8k report (contlnued}
Mr Darren Turner
Darren has been a volunteer with the charlty sirKe 2019.
Darren ha5 worked In numerous industries the year, tO8ether with running his own
successful garage.
Darren brin8s a wealth of busSness knowledge and motor mechanics skills to help the charity
move forward.
The Charlty
The charlty was formed In July 2019. gaining charitable status in December 2019. It becarne
apparent that there was an opening for a daythne running of the servlce which other local
similar charltles did not cover.
The service relles heavily on our motorbike and van drivers. commonly referred to as
Blood Bikes. This invaluable team 8Ne up theytime for free to transport breast milk. samples
and other ad hoc items. as required. compknty free of char8e to the NHS.
Volunteers also have use of the four wheeled lknt, for bigger items. when weather conditions
are not favourable for use of a bike, or rf the tsthteer only holds a car licence.
Achlevernents and performance
The Charity has now been in existence for 6 years. The services it provldes has rernained
consistent with the prior year, with a growth in volunteer numbers.
The Service Level Agreement (SLA) with an NHS Milk Processing Centre, for hosting a dedicated
milk hub continued to be a masslve success. We collect milk from the East Midlands, Yorkshire
and as far as the East Coast for storage at our milk hub. The milk is then bulk transferred to the
processing slte in Chester, helping with the charities carbon reduction aim. We moved over
2,31J) litres of milk during the year.
These SLA'S, have meant that more women arE able to donate thelr preclous mllk to bables In
need. For some bereaved rnoihers, thls provkies comfon at an extremely dffficuft rime. The
bables In need ran8e from babies in Neo Natsl departments across the country or where thelr
mothers are unable to breastfeed due to medKatK>n or prior illness/treatmen¢ for example
mastectomy.
The GP Surgery service we provlde not only l* to save lives through quicker diagnosis but also
provldes a cost savln8 which can be made avadable to emergency front line services. This service
opens up more GP appointments, where it is likety a sample is required.
Plans for the future
We are continually lookln8 to expand our tean of volunteers, In particularty recruitlng for
specific skill sets to help wtth the growth of tt* charity.

We are also looking for new ways to ralse awareness arml money for the future of the charity-
