The WPH Charitable Trust has awarded £3,000 to the Warwick Ambulance Association (WAA) to enable the charity to resume its vital work once Covid restrictions allow.
The WAA, which provides first aid cover for events primarily in Warwickshire but sometimes nationally, also gives first aid training to its 30-strong volunteer force, other organisations and the general public.
But its volunteers have been stopped in their tracks and vehicles grounded since the pandemic took hold almost a year ago.

Despite the pandemic the WAA still has to meet its running costs, including bills for its Emscote Road headquarters and maintenance and MOT of its vehicles, to enable them to be back on the road once work resumes.
