SERV Kent, “Service by Emergency Response Volunteers” also known as the Bloodrunners is a charity that provides emergency courier services transporting blood products, samples and other patient essential items for the major hospitals and hospices in Kent outside normal working hours.

Without SERV Kent, deliveries would have to be made by other means, each of which have their own challenges:

By courier or taxi, these have time, cost, reliability and suitability constraints.

By police or ambulance, which takes a valuable and much-needed resource out of service.

By NHS Blood and Transplant who make the daytime blood deliveries, but who may have limited chargeable availability at night and the weekends.

In addition, we provide and maintain the blood supply for the Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulances enabling them to carry blood on board therefore saving the lives of many patients.

SERV Kent supplies all these needs quickly, reliably and FREE of any charge, thus freeing up much-needed funds for improved patient care and other facilities within the hospitals and other charities.

SERV volunteers provide their services free of charge including fuel and phone expenses and consequently we save the NHS thousands of pounds a year.

Our motto is #itswhatwedo and the desire of every member is simple - to help save lives.

In recent years the charity has handled more than 3000 calls each year and is recognised by the major hospitals as an essential service.
