The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
Freemasons in Lincolnshire have helped give the air ambulance that serves the county
a lift.
Members of the group have donated £4,000 to the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance to help keep it running.
David Wheeler, the Lincolnshire Freemasonry’s provincial grand master, said: “We all hope never to need the valuable support of the air ambulance, but tragedy can strike randomly and at any time. We are all part of our community and we try to help everyone in it if we can.
“The £4,000 donation will fund the air ambulance to make two life-saving missions, which cost an average of £2,500 each.
“That’s a small price to pay to save a life – but the work of the air ambulance is more significant than that.
“We should never forget that its missions are also about the patient’s family, friends, and colleagues, who would also suffer if a loved one were to pass away because the helicopter and its healthcare professionals weren’t available.”
