Great news for the Air Ambulance as they receive another significant donation.
This time a bumper cheque as been received from the League of Friends of Haslar Hospital.
Since the closure of Haslar Hospital in Gosport, this community minded group of volunteers chose the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance as one of their five charities to support.
The league recently presented a cheque for £12,000 to the Air Ambulance at and CEO of the charity, John Perry, had this to say.
“This is an amazing amount raised by The League of Friends of Haslar Hospital, and The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance is very grateful to have been chosen to benefit from their fundraising initiatives.
“We gratefully appreciate the hard work of our community groups who do so much to help raise funds to keep the Air Ambulance flying. We receive no Government or National Lottery funding, so we rely totally on the goodwill and support of groups such as The League of Friends of Haslar Hospital, as well as individuals within Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, to help us raise the £92K per month needed to maintain the service.”
