Residents living in Alkborough, North Lincolnshire, recently joined forces to support the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance (LNAA) and raised over £1,000 for its life-saving work.
The Not 2 Fast, Not 2 Furious Tractor Group raised £642, Alkborough Coronation Club donated £305, and local resident John Robinson gave a personal donation of £55.
LNAA Volunteer David Carrick, who went along to the Alkborough Community Come Together to receive their donation, said: “We would like to thank everyone in Alkborough for their generosity. The support we receive from local groups and societies is the essence of our charity.
“Without the continuous support from communities across Lincs & Notts our crews would not be able to what they do, 24/7, 365 days-of-the-year.”
LNAA is one of the UK’s leading Helicopter Emergency Service charities, bringing the equivalent of a hospital emergency department to patients at the scene, giving those with the most severe injuries and medical conditions the very best chance of survival when minutes matter.
Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance receives no direct government funding and relies on the generosity of its supporters to fund the £13 million needed annually to keep its helicopter in the sky and fleet of critical care cars on the road, 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week.
