Why the air ambulance
The Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance is the kind of service you hope you’ll never need, and are endlessly grateful exists when the worst happens. Its crew delivers the equivalent of an A&E department to the scene of an emergency, and can reach a major trauma centre in as little as eight minutes. It flies day and night, 365 days a year, funded almost entirely by donations rather than government money.
For us, it’s also personal. Our grandmother, Alice, “Mamma”, quietly supported the air ambulance for years, because she understood how much it matters to have expert help when someone’s out of options. We lost her to cancer in April 2025. Carrying that stretcher was our way of continuing her support, and celebrating the generous, family-first person she was.
