Charitable Donations to Air Ambulance given on the 9th July
 
 

The Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance (WNAA) was established in October 2003 to provide an emergency medical service for the heart of England including Warwickshire, Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes. Prior to this, the region had relied on older, slower aircraft with limited space for onboard patient treatment. The new service shifted the emphasis from transporting casualties to hospital, to recognizing the need to get senior Doctors and Consultants to the scene of incidents as quickly as possible, providing lifesaving treatment and medication at the scene and en-route to hospital.

It is a registered charity and relies totally on donations and sponsorship. The average cost per mission is around £850 and the annual running cost of the service is over £1.4 million. Currently only able to operate in daylight hours due to the restrictive leasing costs of flying at night, WNAA aims to become the first service in the UK to operate 24 hours per day by raising over £2 million during 2007.

Brackley Group 2

Eight tenants live in the three houses that make up Brackley Group 2. The tenants are encouraged to live as independently as possible but staff are available to help them acquire new life skills and support them in their daily living. Sociability is also encouraged and the tenants frequently have parties, go on holidays and socialise with tenants from other houses.

All of the tenants attend day centres with the majority visiting The Links on week days.
The aims of the service are to help the tenants live independently, to offer a choice of activities and to help them to socialise.

There are three residential units offering 24 hour care and also hope to have supported living units in the near future.

2008 sees a time of unprecedented need for Livability. The Homes for Independence Appeal marks the launch of the new repair and refurbishment programme for the network of homes and centres for disabled people across the UK. This is work that is not fully financed by allocated statutory income and charitable contributions are used to assist.
