Wales Air Ambulance is our chosen charity this year. Ann Hughes came to tell us a little about their work.

They began in 2001 with one helicopter operating from 8 till 5, five days a week. They now have four helicopter that operate 24/7, and also five rapid-response vehicles.
Since 2017 the helicopters have had consultants, doctors and paramedics on board, which are funded by the NHS. The charity has to provide the funds for the helicopters, which are leased with a pilot. This means that WAA has to raise £11.2 million a year to keep the helicopters providing their service. They have completed 50,000 missions since they began.
Ann Hughes expressed WAA's appreciation and gratitude for supporting them with our fundraising efforts this year.
