Freewheelers EVS operates a fleet of motorcycles each equipped with high-visibility markings, blue lights and sirens for emergency use. We transport blood, pathology & microbiology specimens, patient notes, X-rays, breast milk, and other medical supplies. We also provide essential blood products on a daily basis servicing the Great Western and Wiltshire Air Ambulances. Our service to the NHS is provided free of charge and is funded entirely by public donation and sponsorship. If our service did not exist hospitals would be forced to use taxis or commercial couriers. Freewheelers EVS is run entirely by volunteers. In 2008, in recognition of the dedicated work of our volunteers, we were given The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service. This is the highest honour that a voluntary group can receive, equivalent in status to an MBE. All our riders hold an advanced motorcycling qualification, such as the advanced riding test by RoSPA, or IAM. We also have a team of fund raisers and telephone co-ordinators.
