The ELMC Community Fund agrees to donate the sum of £5,000 to the North West Air Ambulance!
The ELMC Community Fund donated a cheque for £5,000 at a special event on April 12th, where we were represented by the Deputy Grand Superintendent, Jack Price.
At the same event, our ELMC donation was matched by a further £5,000 from the Province of West Lancashire, and by a cheque for £10,000 from the Grand Charity.
The North West Air Ambulance (NWAA) is a unique regional medical air emergency service, covering Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Merseyside and Cumbria. It is a registered charity, which receives no mainstream funding, yet it offers a seven days a week, 365 days a year service, covering an area of 5,500 square miles.
Costing over £1.3 million a year to maintain, the NWAA covers all major motorway incidents, and areas where there is poor or restricted road access. Called out on average four times a day, it has a maximum flying time of ten minutes to the nearest appropriate hospital, after its paramedic crew members have administered initial on-scene treatment, enabling most patients to arrive at the hospital within the ‘Golden Hour,’ thus maximising a patient’s chance of survival and speed of recovery.
Your ELMC Community Fund is proud to be able to offer support to such a worthy cause, and to have taken part in the special Giving Night on April 12th.
