Louise Soppitt presented Richard, Julie & Grace Fletcher Derbyshire Volunteer Community Representatives for DLRAA, with the money. This year they decided they would support DLRAA & the Fire Fighters Charity with a very special Christmas Raffle and they had some fantastic prizes donated by local business. The money was split between both charities.
Richard said: “I was delighted to be presented with the money from Louise. 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 Louise and Derbyshire Fire Service really is invaluable and goes a long way to helping to keep our lifesaving service flying and saving lives.” We would like to thank all the customers for their generosity and the fantastic support they have given.
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 £2,300 we need to fund each rescue mission.
