How many times have you been on a  Zoom/Teams/Skype call,  launched into a really important point only to be met with a barrage of "You're on Mute" ?  We have all done it, some more than others. It is embarrassing and your inciteful point never seems quite so  pertinent second time around, after that pause and fumble for the unmute button.

Now you can act cool(-ish) and make out it was a deliberate fund raising ploy. 

I and my colleagues at Bishop Fleming are inviting you to count up all the times you have spoken while on mute since lockdown began in March - make a guess, and then double it just to be sure - and donate a pound for every time. And then to put another pound in every time you do it again.

Why Cornwall Air Ambulance? Because it is a vital resource , not only for those of us who live here but also for those many who visit us every year. If you have an accident on a beach, or on one of our remote country lanes the Air Ambulance can save you a 2 hour ambulance ride on tiny bumpy roads amidst holiday traffic - and may save your life. 

Please count up those time you spoke on mute, donate (don't forget to Gift Aid) and pass this on to your friends colleagues and contacts and let's see if we can raise £5,000 before this horrible crisis ends.

And if you never forget to unmute, mute it more often - you are not trying hard enough!  Just think of the charity and Mute your Mic for Cornwall Air Ambulance.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
