Lions Clubs’ £160k boost for local air ambulances
Air ambulances across the British Isles will receive vital equipment in the battle against COVID-19 – thanks to generous £160,000 grant from the Lions Clubs International Foundation.
President Sue of Llantwit Major and Cowbridge Lions Club confirms : “We know that air ambulance charities have been busier than ever during the coronavirus pandemic. They’ve faced considerable extra – unbudgeted – day to day costs – at the same time as lockdown has affected fund-raising.
Now, thanks to an emergency COVID-19 relief grant from the Lions Clubs International Foundation in the US, we can provide immediate support for this emergency service that touches lives in all our local communities.”
Working with Air Ambulances UK, Lions Clubs compiled a list of equipment and supplies needed by individual air ambulance charities – totalling £161,468
In Wales the 4 Air Ambulances will share £15840 which they propose to use for the purchase of several Cisco Omni-Hub integrated communication units
More details are to be found on the 105 Multiple District Web site
