On Saturday16th December 2017, 30 or so Santas will be riding around on their reindeer in the local villages of Mortimer, Theale, Burghfield Common and Burghfield Village . As well as the sponsorship raised before the event we will collection money from the many onlookers.

The Thames Valley Air Ambulance is a charity which receives no funding from the NHS or from the National Lottery, but relies entirely on Sponsorship, donations and fundraising activities such as this.

They now carry blood and plasma (the first Air Ambulance to do so) and have increased the survival rate of their patients by 25%.

They now fly at night, and carry all sorts of tech so they can land safely in unknown places in the dark.

They have the highest trained critical care responders in the UK and fly specialist trauma care doctors on board - They can even put people into a medical coma before transport. They have full body cams so the staff at the destination hospital can see the injuries and assess in real time -  so patients can go straight to theatre upon arrival

All costs of participation in this event are met by the ‘Santas’ so they pay for drink, decorations, reindeer food and the Santa outfits. This means all the proceeds from donations and on the day collections go to Thames Valley Air Ambulance!!!
