Air Medic Drops In for a Cuppa to Say Thanks for £20K Donation

A paramedic from Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance popped into St Mary’s Hospital today to thank volunteer staff for a whopping £20,000 donation.

Volunteer Heroes Brew Up Big Bucks

The cash came from profits at the hospital’s shop and two bustling coffee bars. Volunteers from St Mary’s League of Friends served over 30,000 cups of tea and coffee to raise the lifesaving funds.

Saving Lives One Cup at a Time

The hard-earned money will buy vital medical kit for the Air Ambulance’s brand-new Critical Care Vehicle, helping paramedics save lives across the region.

“Every cup sold brought us closer to equipping our heroes on the frontline,” said a grateful paramedic.
