Ashfield MP Lee Anderson teamed up with distribution company Hermes to present a charity with £100.

Hermes gave the MP £1,000 to donate to an organisation helping people in Ashfield and Eastwood.

Lee invited residents to nominate their favourite charity through his Facebook page and East Midlands Freewheelers as the winner.

The group is the only blood bike team that operates all over UK, delivering and collecting blood, breast milk and medical equipment.

Sam Dakin, the group’s founder, said: “The money is gratefully received. It will make a huge difference keeping the fleet on the road. Thank you to everyone who thought of voting for us in the competition.”

Lee added: “The community nominated some amazing charities and it was a difficult choice. East Midlands Freewheelers is a fantastic charity that works its socks off. I want to thank Hermes too for this generous donation.”
