Get ready for an exciting weekend at Lucy Pittaway Ltd as a brand-new piece of art is unveiled to support their 2024 charity partner, The Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS).

This coming weekend, July 27 - 28, the seven galleries and online store will be buzzing with activities designed to raise much-needed funds for this fantastic cause.

What’s happening?

To kick things off, Lucy Pittaway is launching 'Flying Coast to Coast', a stunning new artwork that people are sure to love. In the spirit of giving, Lucy is pledging to donate 10 percent of sales from 'Flying Coast to Coast' to GNAAS for the rest of 2024.

Additionally, 25 percent of the sale price of the original piece and 5 percent of total artwork sales from both the galleries and online store throughout the weekend will be donated to GNAAS.

But that’s not all: Lucy Pittaway is also offering a chance to win a 10” framed piece of the new artwork, valued at £140, in a special prize draw.

Tickets are just £1 each and can be bought in one of the seven galleries, including Harrogate and York, across the weekend, ticket sales of which will go directly to GNAAS.

'Truly inspiring'

Ben Sission, Specialist Fundraiser North East at GNAAS, shared his thoughts on the partnership:

Lucy and her team are truly inspiring. Since pledging GNAAS as their charity of the year, they have created a wonderful array of different fundraising activities to benefit the charity.

From three Pittaway Picture fundraising walks to pledging proceeds from the sale of artwork and from gallery days to prize draws, they have been focused on helping raise as much money as possible for our charity.

Throughout 2024, Lucy Pittaway Ltd has planned various initiatives to support GNAAS, including:

Three Pittaway Picture walks

Participation in the Great North Run by two of our team members
