Wright Vigar name Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance as their charity of the year.

Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance (LNAA) are saying a big thank you to all at Wright Vigar for naming them as Charity of the Year in support of its life-saving work.

When Wright Vigar were selecting their 2023 Charity of the Year, they wanted one which made a difference to people living across the East Midlands.  Director of Wright Vigar and LNAA Trustee Jack O’Hern said, “We are delighted to be supporting Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance. We often see the helicopter flying over our offices and around the two counties, never imagining that we might need it one day. As LNAA rely purely on donations to fund their life saving work, we are doing our bit to help keep it flying and building for the future.

Members of our team across our offices in Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire will be raising funds through sponsored activities over the next twelve months to raise both funds and awareness for our air ambulance and critical care cars.”

Head of Corporate, Fundraising and Events, Tanya Taylor said: “We are incredibly grateful for the fantastic support from all the team at Wright Vigar. No one wakes up thinking they will need the help of the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance, but with our crews on call 365 days of the year, our highly skilled doctors, paramedics and pilots are there to help people involved in life-threatening incidents every single day. The enhanced level of emergency care we deliver to patients at the scene, gives people with the most severe injuries and medical conditions the very best chance of survival. This donation helps keep our helicopter in the sky and our critical care cars on the road, giving patients the best chance of survival, thank you so much!”
