Cornwall Air Ambulance is urgently appealing to the public for donations from new and existing supporters to help the charity to continue responding to seriously sick and injured patients during Covid-19.
Cornwall Air Ambulance is set to lose a massive £1.5m by the end of the year due to the closure of its charity shops, community fundraising and the closure of tourism. This could start to have huge consequences for the charity and the people of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. This sustained lack of fundraising income could mean the charity has to take steps to reduce the cost of operating the service, which could include reducing the number of hours the helicopter flies every day. Future lives depend on ensuring the helicopter can fly to as many people as possible every single day.
