I'm sure a lot of you have been watching the first in a new series of 9 programmes about the work of Great North Air Ambulance on BBC1 tonight...

If you enjoyed the programme, can I please encourage you to make a donation to Great North Air Ambulance, or your local equivalent?

Click the link and hit the DONATE NOW tab near the top of the screen :beer:

I'm not connected to GNAAS, but they are one of my charities of choice and I support them personally and through my employer, which makes donations to our charities of choice when we pass key targets for safety at work.

Thanks everyone :beer: :T

Keep a look out for the next programme - 8 to go but not regularly scheduled - come on BBC, sort your act out!!!

PS if you think you recognise 'The Pride of Cumbria' G-HEMS, the Cumbria-based helicopter, that's because it is the same helicopter which used to be the London Air Ambulance, which featured on TV a few years ago when sponsored by Virgin and the Daily Mail.

Great North Air Ambulance has no major sponsors and is supported wholly by charity donations - there is no government money spent on this important service, or any air ambulance service in the UK.

REMEMBER - IT COULD BE YOU!

and now for the bit to comply with Martin's rules...

You could set up a standing order for £2 a month, you wouldnt miss that surely. Or donate any clothes shoes, there is often a clothes bank at
amenity sites or supermarkets.

I watch the programme myself but already donate to County Air Ambulance which covers West Midlands, Worcestershire, Shropshire and Warwickshire - again this receives no government funding and is funded purely by charitable donations.
