DLRAA Receives Donation From Pavers Belper 2021
On Wednesday 22nd December 2021 Pavers Shoes Belper donated £500.00 for the Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance (DLRAA)
Rachel Brown Store Manager presented Richard Fletcher Volunteer Derbyshire Community Representative for DLRAA, with the money at their Shop which is in the beautiful De Bradelei Mill Shopping Village in Belper.
Richard said: “We were delighted to be presented with the money, which was awarded by the Pavers Foundation”. DLRAA relies entirely on donations from members of the public as it receives no Government or National Lottery funding. Therefore, support from people such as this really is invaluable and goes a long way to helping to keep our lifesaving service flying and saving lives
The Pavers Foundation was launched in 2018, with an incredible initial donation of £2.5 million from Pavers Shoes and the private estate of the late Catherine Paver, to enable charitable giving by the business and its 1500 employees.
The Pavers Foundation is dedicated to making a meaningful impact on the communities around us. Each year Pavers Shoes gives 2% of net profit, alongside the total profits from the sale of carrier bags in stores, to ensure the Pavers Foundation can continue to make effective and positive changes in local communities and beyond.
The Foundation has awarded over £1 million (and counting) to causes close to the hearts of Pavers, Jones Bootmaker and Herring Shoes colleagues.
When you’re fighting for your life, every second counts. For us, this makes every mission critical. DLRAA was formed in 2008, every day of the year your local air ambulance is helping save lives. Our critical care paramedics, trauma doctors and pilots fly an average of eight rescue missions a day – from medical emergencies, to road traffic collisions, to sports injuries, to industrial accidents. Our rapid response gives people the very best chance of survival and recovery. But we couldn’t do this without people like you. We rely entirely on donations to raise the £1,700 we need to fund each rescue mission.
