Club hands over cheque to air ambulance

Posted by Dan Coombs on Jul 27, 09 11:50 AM in Charity/voluntary

A WHOPPING £1,800 was raised for a lifesaving charity by a group keen to show their support.

The chief executive of the London Air Ambulance, Andrew Cameron, came down to Uxbridge Conservative Club, in Harefield Road, last Wednesday to collect a giant cheque.

Georgina Baile, the events co-ordinator, said: "The money was raised by ticket sales to guess the name of a large cuddly tiger, twice as he was re-donated to raise more for the charity, also a well supported Charity Night was held with an auction, video horse race, request a record, raffle and lots of fun games.

"All the auction items were donated and the whole event was run by volunteers from the club."

The air ambulance is regularly sighted over Hillingdon, as it strives to reach those who may only be minutes from death, and transports them to London hospitals.

The service is part privately funded and for the rest of its operating costs it relies on charitable donations.
