The pub’s incredible fundraising journey began with a mission to buy a £18,000 Blood Bike – a goal they proudly achieved in 2023. But they didn’t stop there. In 2024 alone, they raised over £13,000 more to keep the fleet on the road.
Their community-powered events included:
Even the pub football team proudly wears the Blood Bikers logo on their kit.
The partnership with Midland Freewheelers has become a true local legend. Patrons regularly spot and share sightings of “One More One” – the pub-funded bike – out on the roads. When it rides past and toots its horn, conversation stops in the pub and stories flow. The relationship has brought the pub, the charity, and the entire community together.
The bike they purchased has become a regional symbol of life-saving commitment and it’s all thanks to The Royal Oak.
The Royal Oak, Chapel Ash isn’t just a pub. It’s a lifesaving, challenge-loving, community-building powerhouse. Their creativity, consistency, and commitment have made them leaders in pub-led fundraising and their impact is now literally on the road, helping save lives across the West Midlands.
