A crew from Western Power Distribution’s (WPD) Helicopter Unit took a break from line patrols on Tuesday to present a cheque for £2,000 to the Great Western Air Ambulance charity.
The Air Ambulance service is one of those things we all know exists but hope we never need the use of, however none of us know just when we might need this flying A&E unit which could save your life or that of a loved one.
Toby Heiermann, WPD’s Pilot, said: “What a great reason to take a short break from our flying duties. The Air Ambulance provides a great service so I am delighted to present the Unit with this cheque and hope our support will encourage others to give what they can too.”
Tianna Cowan, Corporate Fundraising Officer for GWAA added: “It’s fantastic that WPD have decided to support our cause by providing us with a £2,000 donation and we were thrilled to welcome them at our air base.
“Donations received from the business community go a long way to helping us raise the 1.75 million needed to keep us flying”.
