Harp and Crown Credit Union donate to Air Ambulance NI

air ambulance donation 26 — L-R Lorraine Black, Harp and Crown Credit Union Treasurer, presents a £500 donation cheque to Air Ambulance NI volunteer Ken Addley.

It’s Air Ambulance Week from 7th – 13th September and what better time for Harp and Crown Credit Union to announce their donation of £500 to Air Ambulance Northern Ireland.

Air Ambulance NI works in partnership with the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, to provide the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) for Northern Ireland.

As a local charity, Air Ambulance NI aspires to raise £3 million annually to sustain this life-saving service. The service brings urgent medical assistance to anywhere in the province, operating seven days a week for 12 hours per day. On average the medical team are tasked twice a day, whether that is as a result of a serious road traffic collision, farm or workplace accident, sport and leisure incident or a serious medical emergency.

The charity relies on the kind generosity and support they receive through charitable donations, without it, they could not sustain this incredible service.

“This Air Ambulance Week, we are proud to announce our support of Air Ambulance Northern Ireland. Harp and Crown Credit Union recognises and values the vital work being carried out by all emergency services, with many of our members and their families active within the Police Service of Northern Ireland. We hope our donation to Air Ambulance NI will help towards sustaining this invaluable service.”

— Lorraine Black, Harp and Crown Credit Union Treasurer

“We are incredibly thankful to the Harp and Crown Credit Union. Their support has made a real difference. Every pound raised helps us deliver critical pre-hospital care across Northern Ireland, giving patients the best possible chance of survival and recovery.”

— Bébhionn Hardy, Air Ambulance NI Community Fundraising Coordinator
