Welsh packaging company Cambrian Packaging has donated £1,500 for the Wales Air Ambulance, after raising money over the Christmas period.
Dan Simpson, Sales Director at Cambrian, said: “We wanted to support a local charity and we chose the Wales Air Ambulance because they provide a truly life-saving service, 365 days a year.
“Every year they attend around 2,500 missions to get patients to the appropriate hospital with the greatest speed. They also have three helicopter emergency medical service aircraft with Critical Care Practitioners, who are advanced paramedics and doctors, so patients can begin receiving treatment right away.
“The cost of running this amazing service is over £6.5m per year – so we were only too happy to lend a hand.”
The donation follows Cambrian’s support for another project, The Globe Foundation, which the company has chosen as its 2019 charitable cause. Cambrian has donated almost £3,000 towards the Litterbug Project, a community-led plastic recycling initiative based at the not-for-profit’s new Eco Centre in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire.
The cash has funded a vital machine which will help to recycle single-use plastics and transform them into craft projects and useful reusable items for social benefit.
Among Cambrian’s international clients are Bio-D, Lush, Automsmart, Bob Martin, Carr Day & Martin, Greggs and Lakeland.
