Now in our sixth yearof operation, the Charity maintains a strong
_provision of free transport ofurgent services toNHS Highland and its

The charity hasaround 100 active volunteers fiving their time completely
freely to the service of the NHS and the local communities.
We continue toservice 3 SLA’s (Service Level Agreements) forNHS
Highland, covering the departmental needs ofthe Laboratories, the
Discharge SupportTeam and Pharmacy department throughout the
region.
In addition, we also have an SLA with Argyll & Bute Health and
Social Care Partnership, supporting remote FP surgeries and their
Community Hospital.
In this financial year period (12 months to 31stMay 2025), we completed
1,271 urgent deliveries for the NHS and local patient communities. Of
these, we predominantly carried blood samples (43%), patient
medications, including covid medication (21%) and GP Samples (16%).
Patient medications reduced as a proportion of our activity in line with
reduction in levels of Covid 19. The total mileage covered by our
volunteers for the NHS was 119,047 miles in the period.
In the 2025 financial periodwe started supporting Maternity and Neonatal
Care with the movement of Human Breast Milk in conjunction with the
NHS Milk Bankand the Glasglow Children’s Hospital Charity.
We plan to start supporting the Highland Hospice in the2026 financial
period.
