Thanks for taking time to visit the Mammoet UK Just giving page.

Some members of Mammoet UK are taking part in the National 3 Peaks challenge. This consists of the highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales. The challenge will take place over the bank holiday weekend in August. The walking starts at Ben Nevis at 17:00 on the 25/08 and if we are on-time, finish at the base of Snowdon by 17:00 26/08 having climbed all 3 in-between.

The Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) is a charity operating a fleet of helicopters across an area of 8,000 square miles, from the Scottish Borders to North Yorkshire, from East Coast to West. The helicopters can be anywhere in the region in fifteen minutes. On board are specialist trauma doctors and paramedics, bringing Accident and Emergency expertise to the scene, giving the patient the best possible chance of recovery. To give you some indication of there need for your help, it costs £2,500 per mission to fly, regardless of whether or not the patient is airlifted. This figure takes into account the cost of the aircraft, its storage and fuel, paying the pilots and the paramedics, the medicine, and other equipment. Our crews respond to hundreds of call-outs a month and to satisfy this demand it takes about £4m a year in fundraising. To further emphasise the necessity of your support, the service does not receive any Government or National Lottery funding and therefore relies on the support of the public to continue its work.
