Cornwall Air Ambulance recently shared on their Facebook page how small donations can make a significant difference. According to their post, the collective contributions from charity collection jars placed across the region last year were substantial enough to fund 20 helicopter missions. This achievement highlights the crucial role of community involvement in lifesaving services.
The charity’s collection jars, placed in various local businesses across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, have proven to be more than just spare change receptacles. Each penny collected has contributed towards the crucial work of the air ambulance service, demonstrating how even the smallest donations can accumulate to make a substantial impact.
Recognising the success and importance of these collection jars, Cornwall Air Ambulance is now reaching out to more local businesses, inviting them to be part of this community effort. Businesses interested in housing a charity jar can request one by contacting the Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust at enquiries@cornwallairambulancetrust.org. This initiative offers a simple yet effective way for local businesses to engage with and support the life-saving services provided by the air ambulance crew.
The charity’s reliance on community support is evident, and every contribution, no matter the size, is a step towards saving lives in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
The funding of 20 helicopter missions through collection jar donations stands as a testament to the power of community generosity and the collective effort in providing essential emergency services.
