Clogher Valley Golf Club President Chris Bloomfield has supported Air Ambulance NI charity at his special President’s Weekend event in the village of Fivemiletown, Co Tyrone.

Chris was delighted to hand over a donation of £2500 to Air Ambulance NI following his weekend of support. He was joined by his friends Louise & Wilmer Wiltshire and Clogher Valley Golf Club Secetary, Victor Collum alongside Damien McAnespie from Air Ambulance NI.

Thank you Chris for choosing Air Ambulance NI as your chosen charity for your special weekend event and to all the members of Clogher Valley Golf Club who were so generous in their donations.

The charity Air Ambulance NI, in partnership with the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, provides the HEMS for Northern Ireland.  The service brings urgent medical assistance to anywhere in the province, operating seven days a week for 12 hours per day. The HEMS team attend patients who are seriously ill or injured, bringing emergency pre-hospital care direct to the casualty with the aim of saving lives, brains and limbs.  The aircraft can reach anywhere in the province within twenty-five minutes.

On average the medical team are called upon twice every day, whether that to a serious road traffic collision, farm or workplace accident, sport and leisure incident or a serious medical emergency.

Any patients or families who have been touched by the work of the Air Ambulance are welcome to visit the airbase and should get in touch with Air Ambulance NI by calling 028 9262 2677.

As a local charity, Air Ambulance NI aspires to raise £3 million each year to maintain and sustain this service so public donations are crucial. One of the simplest ways to support is by becoming a member of Club AANI and donating via a monthly or annual subscription.
