Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 27 Oct, 06:08 · Archive

Students at Grŵp Llandrillo Menai raised £2,153 for Wales Air Ambulance through a year of fundraising, volunteering and community engagement. The partnership saw students organise and support events while gaining a deeper understanding of the charity's life-saving work.

Wales Air Ambulance relies on public donations to raise the £13 million needed each year to keep its helicopters in the air and rapid response vehicles on the road. The charity delivers hospital-level treatment at the scene of emergencies and transfers patients to the most appropriate hospital. Its crews, staffed by NHS consultants and critical care practitioners, can administer anaesthesia, deliver blood transfusions and perform minor operations at the scene.

Aaron Beacher, student enrichment officer, said the partnership had offered students much more than fundraising experience. Students volunteered as bag-packers at supermarkets, helped at events and spoke to members of the public, becoming 'fantastic ambassadors for the charity'. Beacher said: 'Our students wanted everything they did to have real meaning and purpose. They were passionate about connecting with their local communities and helping people understand why Wales Air Ambulance is so important.'
