Cornwall Air Ambulance ‘Heli 2’ appeal just £11k from target

The head of Cornwall Air Ambulance has thanked the people of Newquay and beyond for backing the charity’s campaign to bring a second helicopter to Cornwall.

The ‘Heli 2’ appeal is now in its final days, with just £11,000 left to raise.

The second, identical aircraft is already undergoing its medical fit and is expected to enter service this summer - boosting the charity’s resilience and ability to respond to emergencies across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

The appeal set out to raise £2.85million and is almost near the finish line.

Chief Executive Tim Bunting has praised the generosity of supporters, saying their efforts have helped bring the dream of a second helicopter closer to reality. PRESS PLAY to hear more...
