Pensioners' precious gift to air ambulance


Recommended Posts

RESIDENTS of a retirement village took a trip to the Cornwall Air Ambulance service in Newquay to present them with a cheque for Pounds 700.

The money was raised by residents and staff from Roseland Parc retirement village in Tregony, near Truro, at the annual Christmas fair.

Resident Elizabeth Sharratt said: "There's no question that every penny raised for the air ambulance counts towards saving precious lives.

"The helicopter was called out to an emergency three times in the hour we were there, which showed us more than anything the importance of the work these brave men and women do."

Residents have been longterm supporters of the service, which has been serving the county for 25 years.

They were invited to visit the Newquay headquarters to hand over the cheque and to see how the money will be spent.

The Pounds 700 was raised from the sale of crafts, home-made cakes, tombola tickets and stall rentals at the Christmas fair.
