£2104.56 Presented to Air Ambulance NI
NISG were delighted to present a cheque for £2104.56 to Grace Williams from Air Ambulance NI at our recent AGM. This donation was collected at the ballot held during our NISG 70th Anniversary Conference and Gala Dinner back in November 2023. Grace, AANI Area Fundraising Manager, was invited to give an overview of the work carried out by AANI and receive the donation from our Chair, Wendy Beatty, and our newly-elected Vice President, Heather McKinstry.
Grace explained how this vital charity operates and recounted one patient’s story to those in attendance, highlighting the need for the service, operating throughout the whole of Northern Ireland.
Special thanks go to those organisations who donated prizes for the ballot and to individuals who donated and entered the draw, at both the conference and the gala dinner. Our donation was gratefully received by the charity, which requires £2.5 million annually to run (£6.850 per day) and relies totally on support from the public and local businesses, including Gifts in Wills.
