Members of the Province visited the Tatenhill base of the Midland ‘Air Ambulance’ on Wednesday, 7th March 2012 to present a cheque for two thousand pounds.
The money raised which received matching from the OSM Benevolent Fund was the proceeds from the PGSR’s designated charity for 2010/2011.

The members of the Province  were given a very warm welcome by Amita Patel (‘Air Ambulance’ Fund Raising Manager) and in due course, following the return to base of the helicopter from a mission at Uttoxeter, Brethren were able to chat with the crew and have a close up view of the helicopter.

For those who are interested in figures the helicopter used out of Tatenhill, rigged out as an Air Ambulance, cost £3.25M.
