## **Achievements and performance**
**Summary of the main achievements of** This year, we have continued in our premises at Torry **the charity during the financial period** Aberdeen, utilising the space for storage of our vehicles and equipment and also for doing our own maintenance During this year we have become busier in relation to work from Dr Grays Hospital in Elgin and also doing more sample work for other Blood Bike Charities ferrying materials between hospital sites throughout Scotland. We are still transporting children's equipment on behalf of a North East charity that is without its own transport. We continue to seek new avenues where we can assist NHS Grampian.
