mags4dorset is supporting the Air Ambulance throughout the charity’s 10th anniversary year. Each month we will be reporting on rescues and giving you facts about this lifesaving charity, which has no government funding and has to rely entirely on donations and fundraising.
It may surprise you to learn that it costs £1.4 million a year to keep the air ambulance flying and mags4dorset aims to encourage as many people as possible to make donations.
Yesterday, the editor at mags4dorset, Janine Pulford and graphic designer, Louis Pulford visited the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance base at Henstridge. “Whilst we were there,” said Janine, “The Air Ambulance was called out and it was quite an experience to see the paramedics Mark Williams and John Penny climb aboard with the pilot Phil Merrit to attend their first call of the day.”
Read about the mags4dorset visit in the February issue of Town & Village.
