A big thank you to all the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance volunteers

LNAA is joining thousands of charities and voluntary organisations recognising the contribution volunteers make across the UK during volunteers’ week.

Kate Kerrigan, LNAA volunteering manager, said: “Our volunteers are very important to us. They are our ambassadors, giving us their time in a variety of ways to raise both awareness and funds for our critical life-saving work.

“Their support ensures we are able to operate 24 hours of the day, seven days-a-week, providing critical care to some of the most seriously ill and injured people across Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire.”

There are many different volunteering roles within LNAA and each offer something in return.

Fundraisers Les Pert and his wife Joyce are two of LNAA’s volunteering stalwarts.

Since 2016, they have travelled across Lincolnshire attending cheque presentations, talks and collections.

Not only that, they also assist at the charity’s headquarters and are described as lifesavers as, at a moment’s notice, they stop what they are doing to help deliver pick up or deliver parts needed for the running of the critical care cars or helicopter.

Les said: “We fly the flag for LNAA as much as we can, we’re glad to be part of a great team.”

Kate said: “There are lots of different roles available as a volunteer with LNAA so why not do something amazing today and join our fantastic team.”
