A holiday park in Boroughbridge has raised £32,000 for Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
Old Hall Holiday Park has raised money for the charity for more than 13 years through a range of events including an annual hog roast, live bands, discos, children’s parties and games, raffles and Halloween parties.
In recognition of Old Hall’s fundraising efforts, Wendy Whittle, park manager, and her husband Denis were invited to the charity’s unveiling of two new state-of-the-art helicopters at Nostell Airbase near Wakefield.
Mrs Whittle said:
“The Yorkshire Air Ambulance is such a fantastic cause and one which everyone at the Old Hall supports.
“We are lucky to have such a wonderful community at the park, with all our holiday home owners joining in our fundraising activities and giving generously.”
Linda Stead, Yorkshire Air Ambulance’s regional fundraising manager for the North and East, said:
“We are extremely thankful to everyone at the Old Hall Holiday Park for their continuous and unwavering dedication over the last 13 years.
“This remarkable donation is a testament to their commitment to our mission of saving lives across Yorkshire and from the whole team at YAA I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for their invaluable support.”
