Supporting New Charity
Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance
Pam Miriam is delighted to announce KNIGHTS new charity for the forthcoming year. Surrey Air Ambulance covers the counties of Kent, Surrey and Sussex.
Surrey Air Ambulance charity provides a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) to the people who live, work and travel through the county of Surrey. Based at Dunsfold Aerodrome the highly skilled team of doctors, paramedics and nurses can reach emergency situations in any part of Surrey within fifteen minutes.
The helicopter with its lifesaving crew reduce the delay for the patient to receive prompt and appropriate medical care and has the ability to transfer patients to the hospital or specialist trauma centre relevant to the injuries sustained.
The Surrey Air Ambulance is on standby to respond quickly to 999 calls, flying unhindered to an emergency scene across Surrey at speeds up to 150mph, three hundred and sixty five days a year. Pam will be providing more information about fund raising events in the forthcoming issues but would like to remind you that collection tins will be in both our coffee shops and at the tills in the Garden Centres – so we would ask you to please give generously.
Mr Knight said “We are thrilled to be supporting this vital resource which is not financed by the NHS or local authority, this truly is the people’s health service. I very much hope that our customers will as ever help us to support this important cause. We look forward to a successful year of fund raising”
