Eunice, who comes from a farming background, chose Air Ambulance NI as her charity of choice due to her strong belief in supporting services that help rural communities. Speaking about her decision, she said: “Living on a farm all my life, I’ve seen the dangers and accidents that can happen in the countryside. You never know when you or someone close to you might need the Air Ambulance. It’s a service for everyone.”

To personally hand over the donation, Eunice and her daughter Helen recently visited the Air Ambulance NI base near Lisburn, where they met with members of the team and saw firsthand the operations behind the emergency service.

Bebhionn Hardy, Community Fundraising Coordinator at Air Ambulance NI, said: “It was a pleasure to welcome Eunice and her daughter to the base. Her generosity and the kindness of her friends and family will help us continue our mission of saving lives, brains and limbs across Northern Ireland. We’re especially touched by her understanding of the importance of our work in rural and farming communities.”
