Orchestra’s plucky donation

The Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance (LNAA) is giving a mega toe-tapping thanks to the Ukulele Orchestra of Spalding for raising a fantastic £500 from events and concerts in aid of its life-saving work.

The group’s secretary Katy Walker said: “It was a unanimous decision by us all to nominate LNAA.
“The air ambulance is a vital device and we all wanted to do our part to keep it flying.”
LNAA community fundraiser Jac Sutherland recently visited the group and gave thanks for this fantastic donation. She said: “It will cost £10million in 2024 to keep LNAA operational, enabling our dedicated pilots, doctors and paramedics to carry the most up-to-date life-saving equipment and take an emergency department directly to the scene of some of the most serious incidents in Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire.
“As we receive no regular direct funding from the government, we rely solely on the generosity and goodwill of people and organisations like Ukelele Orchestra of Spalding to support our work.”
