As some of you may be
aware, last Sunday the Devon Air Ambulance landed on the school playground in
response to a local emergency. We are pleased to be able to report that the
casualty arrived safely in Bristol and was treated successfully.
Many thanks to Mrs
Flower for her prompt response to the situation, opening the gates to allow
medics access to and from the playground. We are currently exploring strategies
for a common passcode for the gates that could be shared with the Air Ambulance
Service to prevent any unnecessary delays in the future.
Thanks also to John
Insull for sharing the wonderful photographs which captured the moments on
camera.
The Devon Air Ambulance
In 2018, it cost £7.5 million to keep Devon's Air
Ambulances flying. As an independent charity that receives no external funding,
they rely solely on the support of their lottery players, regular donors, those
who pledge money in their wills, those who shop or donate to their charity shops,
those who fundraise or participate in fundraising events, and those who pop
spare change into their collection boxes. Every contribution truly does
make a difference – for more details on how to donate please visit their
