Werndale Hospital, part of Circle Health Group, aims to fundraise £2,000 each year, in support of the Wales Air Ambulance (WAA) charity. The campaign is part of the hospitals ‘giving something back' initiative.

Jacky Jones, Executive Director at Werndale Hospital, said:

“Wales Air Ambulance was chosen as our partnered charity, because it is close to the hearts of staff, consultants and patients at Werndale. They play a vital role at the heart of the local and national community, delivering lifesaving emergency care to people in need. The partnership represents a great opportunity to support colleagues in the wider healthcare system in Wales.”

Wales Air Ambulance Charity is funded by the people of Wales and requires £8 million a year to keep its four helicopters in the sky, serving Wales and saving lives. The charity can be anywhere in Wales within 20 minutes, its doctors and medics fly the A&E department to the patient. It also runs the Children's Wales Air Ambulance service, transferring vulnerable babies and children to the specialist hospitals across the UK. Your donations will help keep this vital service in Wales.
