Lincolnshire Agricultural Society Announces Lincolnshire Emergency Blood Bikes as Chosen Charity for 2026

The Lincolnshire Agricultural Society (LAS) is proud to announce that Lincolnshire Emergency Blood Bikes Service (LEBBS) has been selected as its Chosen Charity of the Year for 2026.

Lincolnshire Emergency Blood Bikes are a dedicated team of volunteers who provide an essential service to the NHS by transporting blood, plasma and other urgent medical supplies across Lincolnshire and the wider East Midlands region. Their work ensures that hospitals and healthcare providers receive critical items quickly, often in time-sensitive situations where every minute counts.

Operating without any official funding, LEBBS relies entirely on donations and fundraising to maintain its fleet of 11 motorbikes and 7 cars. These vehicles are available 24/7, ready to respond whenever the NHS calls. Every journey they make helps save lives and every pound raised helps keep them on the road.

The LAS run this initiative as part of its commitment to supporting and strengthening the local community. The programme allows charities to use its platform and events to amplify the voices of local charities. By doing so, LAS helps raise awareness, generate vital funds and create connections between the agricultural sector and essential services that benefit everyone in the county. By partnering with the LAS, LEBBS will have the opportunity to raise awareness of its vital role in the community and generate much-needed funds to support its operations. Throughout 2026, LAS will work closely with the charity to promote fundraising initiatives and share stories about the incredible impact of their work.

Gordon Scott, Fundraising Manager at LEBBS, expressed his excitement about the partnership:

“We are absolutely thrilled to be chosen as the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society’s Charity of the Year. This partnership gives us an incredible platform to raise awareness of the lifesaving work our volunteers do every day. With no government funding, every penny we raise helps us keep our vehicles running and ensures we can continue supporting the NHS whenever needed.”

Andrew Buckley, Chair of the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society, added:

“We are delighted to support Lincolnshire Emergency Blood Bikes in 2026. Agriculture statistically has a high workplace accident record, and this voluntary service is vital for our community. Their commitment to helping the NHS and saving lives across our county is truly inspiring. We look forward to working closely with them throughout the year to raise funds and awareness for this essential service.”

There will be plenty of opportunities to support LEBBS throughout the year, from fundraising events at the Lincolnshire Showground to donation drives and awareness campaigns. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.
