Wiltshire Air Ambulance - Cheque Presentation - Awdry Bailey & Douglas

Wiltshire Air Ambulance – is the only air ambulance that flies both day and night. Its mission is to airlift critically ill and injured people to hospital – a life saver…

ABD’s annual Christmas party event was a great success but more than just a party last year. Some of the staff decided to get together and run an auction! 

The auction consisted of cakes, car washes, hair gel, doggy day care and a painting all very kindly provided by ABD staff.

After bidding took place a fantastic £765 was raised which went to Wiltshire Air Ambulance.
PR, Events and Marketing Manager, Keshani Douglas along with Legal Assistant, Jacky Hubbard from ABD who helped to organise the Christmas Party presented the cheque to the Wiltshire Air Ambulance Team.
