🌟 WHY I VOLUNTEER – CLIVE’S STORY 🌟
As Volunteers’ Week begins, we’re sharing the stories of the incredible people who make Blood Bikes Wales possible.
Clive’s journey to becoming a Blood Bikes Wales rider started with an unexpected challenge.
After serving his community for decades—including almost 20 years as a First Responder for the Welsh Ambulance Service and 38 years with the lifeboat, eventually becoming Coxswain—he was told at the age of 65 that he was too old to continue going to sea.
Despite being fit, healthy, holding a Class 1 driving licence and a Private Pilot’s Licence, stepping away from a role that had been such a huge part of his life was difficult. The loss of involvement, purpose and identity hit hard.
Determined to find a new volunteering challenge, Clive contacted Blood Bikes Wales. As an advanced driver, he hoped to volunteer in a car-based role. When he discovered that B*W only operated motorcycles, his heart sank—he didn’t even have a motorcycle licence!
Most people would have accepted defeat. Clive did the opposite.
At 65 years old, he decided to learn to ride, pass his motorcycle test and achieve the advanced qualification needed to apply as a Blood Bikes Wales rider.
“It was the best decision I ever made,” says Clive. “The challenge and freedom that motorcycling gave me was a real tonic.”
With determination and excellent mentoring, Clive achieved his RoSPA Gold qualification and successfully passed the assessments to become a B*W rider.
Now, just over 18 months into his Blood Bikes Wales journey and approaching his 70th birthday, Clive reflects with gratitude.
“I am truly grateful that I committed to the challenge and extremely thankful to Blood Bikes Wales for giving me back the direction, involvement and identity I had lost a few years earlier.”
“B*W are a truly inspirational and inclusive charity, made even more remarkable by the fact that every member is a volunteer. I feel proud to wear my rider’s jacket and represent
