Cllr. Roland Emmas-Williams presented a cheque to Richard Fletcher Derbyshire Community Representatives for DLRAA, with the money at their weekly meeting, which is at Field Terrace Community Centre Ripley. A donation was made following a talk presented by Richard on the Air Ambulance Service. The members decided to raise some money for us, instead of giving each other Christmas cards and with merchandise sales the total raised was £292.72+
Richard said: “We were delighted to be presented with the money from Ripley Tuesday Club. DLRAA relies entirely on donations from members of the public as it receives no Government or National Lottery funding. Therefore, support from people and groups like Ripley Tuesday Club really is invaluable and goes a long way to helping to keep our lifesaving service flying and saving lives. 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 ten to twelve 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.
