Can you spare a pound to help go towards saving a life? On Friday 1st October, we are asking you to support us by donating £1 on The Air Ambulance Services first ever Bring a Pound Day. You could do something to accompany the donation like, for example, wearing yellow or green on the day. There are a number of ways to get involved by bringing your pound into your place of work or school or go digital by using our virtual collection tin via JustGiving - everyone can take part even if your team are working remotely! Why not encourage as many of your colleagues and friends as possible to bring a pound and support The Air Ambulance Service.
Every day of the year, your local air ambulance is helping save more lives. Our critical care paramedics, doctors and pilots attend an average of five rescue missions a day. Within minutes they can be on the ground delivering lifesaving care. The air ambulance gives people the very best chance of survival and recovery. We are supported by a Critical Care Car meaning that we can reach those who need us 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. The charity receives no government funding and we rely entirely on donations to raise the £1,700 we need for each mission. Find out more at theairambulanceservice.org.uk
