Air ambulance bosses are saying a big thank you to everyone who supported their Big Give Christmas challenge after £48,000 was raised through online donations in just six days.

From November 28 to December 5, supporters were invited to donate to Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance and support the charity’s lifesaving work.

Michelle Hill, LNAA head of individual giving, said: “The Big Give Christmas Challenge was a fantastic campaign where people could see their donations doubled.

“This year’s aim was to raise a total of £48,000 – to access the £24,000 in the matching pot, £24,000 was needed in online donations.
