Festive Fundraising for Air Ambulance

With Christmas approaching Essex & Herts Air Ambulance (EHAAT) is encouraging supporters to think about Festive Fundraising on behalf of their local life-saving Charity.

Natasha Robertson, Hertfordshire Fundraising Manager at EHAAT said,

One of the great things about Christmas is the way so many supporters get involved with raising funds on our behalf.

One popular way of raising money over the festive season is `Lights for Flights’. If you are planning to decorate your home, work place or school with festive lights, we can let you have a collection tin for admiring visitors to drop a donation in. Last year we had some amazing creations!

By taking part you’ll add some Christmas cheer and community spirit to your local area as well as raising vital funds for your local life-saving Charity.”

For those unable to light up their home, there are plenty of ways to support EHAAT and get in the Christmas spirit:

• Make a donation in lieu of sending cards
• Hold a Christmas jumper day
• Have a Christmas raffle
• Join a festive bucket collection
• Host a mulled wine evening or a coffee and mince pie morning
• Organise a Carol Concert
• Organise or take part in a Santa run

Whatever the fundraising idea, it doesn’t take much to give it a festive twist and help keep your local Air Ambulance operational!
