TOTALS SOAR AFTER YEAR OF FUNDRAISING
» » 2018 SAW ERA, THE
Wolverhampton-based security expert, raise
£11,262.86 for the Midlands Air Ambulance
Charity, having made the organisation its
chosen charity for the year. At the outset ERA
had set a £10,000 target, enough for four call-
outs, each costing approximately £2,500.
Employees used their ingenuity to come
up with a broad variety of fund-raising
activities, including a book sale, Valentines’
raffle, Grand National competition, World
Cup raffle and sweepstake, Christmas raffle,
a sponsored Snowden walk and collection
tins. In addition, ERA’s suppliers kindly made
donations.
Commenting on the donation, Jon Cottrell
of Midlands Air Ambulance Charity said:
“We are reliant on donations to keep us
operational as we receive no government
funding. For anyone wishing to know more
about how to get involved with the charity,
please visit www.midlandsairambulance.com
for more information.”
Midlands Air Ambulance Charity is
responsible for funding and operating three
air ambulances serving Gloucestershire,
Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire,
Worcestershire and the West Midlands. Since
1991, the charity has responded to more
than 49,000 missions, making it one of the
longest established and busiest air ambulance
organisations in the UK.
