Flying high with Surrey Air Ambulance
November 2008
Sibelco UK has joined forces with other local businesses to support the Surrey Air Ambulance. Sponsorship from the company, which operates North Park Quarry in Redhill, will go towards funding of the high-profile Air Aid Ball to be held at Redhill aerodrome on Saturday 20th June 2009.
In 2007, the event raised over £56,000 for the Air Ambulance and next year’s event promises to be even bigger and better! The Air Ambulance service in Kent, Surrey and Sussex costs around £3 million annually to stay airborne. Receiving no funding from the Government or the National Lottery the charity is entirely dependent upon the generosity of the public to support the two helicopters, based at Marden and Dunsfold.
Chris and Caroline Martin, who hosted last years Ball and head the 2009 committee, said: “we have some fantastic plans ahead and with the help and support of past and new sponsors we hope very much to raise even more money for the Air Ambulance. It is a fantastic service which any one of us could need one day.”
Sponsorship packs and further information about the Air Aid Ball can be obtained from Julie Jenkinson County Fundraiser Surrey Air Ambulance on 07843 336720
