Who we are

DID YOU KNOW – 1 in 10 patients in hospital require blood! – This is where we come in and help.

SERV Sussex is a registered charity (No. 284455), formed in 1981 that delivers blood and blood products, to hospitals in the East & West Sussex free of any charges. We currently serve St. Richard’s (Chichester), Worthing General, Royal Sussex County (Brighton), Royal Alexandra Childrens (Brighton), Princess Royal (Haywards Heath), Eastbourne DGH and The Conquest (Hastings).

What we do

In 2013 SERV Sussex were asked to make over 570 deliveries to hospitals as far afield as Hastings in the east of the county to Chichester in the west. The blood and blood products delivered all originate from the National Blood Service in Tooting London. Without SERV these deliveries would have either had to wait till the next day, been taken by taxi or, in emergencies, collected by ambulance. A conservative estimate of the cost savings delivered by SERV to Sussex NHS hospitals in taxi bills alone, is in excess of £90,000 per year!

Why we need you

 

Every member of SERV Sussex is a volunteer. They give their time for free and (unless they are using a fleet vehicle) pay for the fuel and running costs of their vehicle from their own pocket. Nonetheless SERV Sussex does need donations to;

  • Keep fleet vehicles fueled and maintained
  • Replace aging vehicles
  • Pay for the communications infrastructure needed to service incoming requests from hospitals
  • Subsidise safety equipment for riders / drivers
  • Raise awareness of the service the charity offers to general public and NHS

1. SELECT A CHARITY

A list of charities that we are partnered with are here for you to select. Some of the charities that we work with have fundraising targets and others are self-funded by yourself, each charity we work with will state if they will contribute to some of your jump cost or if you need to self-fund your own place.

2. BOOK YOUR SKYDIVE

You can book individually or as a group with just a £50 deposit per person on any operational day. Some of the charities we work with have reserved spaces on pre-selected days that you are more than welcome to join.

3. START FUNDRAISING

OK you’re all set – This is now the time to start fundraising for your selected charity, we recommend to set up an online fundraising page as all funds you raise will automatically go to the charity of your choice. Please remember you are unable to use any money raised to pay for your skydive and if you have a target set by the charity you have to hit this 3 weeks before the date of your jump to ensure these funds are online for the charity to see!
