A Cornish business has teamed up with local emergency services in order to raise money and celebrate National Cream Tea Day. Cornwall Air Ambulance and Rodda s Cornish clotted cream have joined forces in order to launch a new fundraising campaign – the Heli Cream Tea. The two organisations are are encouraging families and communities to come together in June and hold a Heli Cream Tea in aid of the Cornwall Air Ambulance. People wanting to take part are being encouraged to download a fundraising pack from the Cornwall Air Ambulance website - which includes everything you need to know about how to hold an event and donate as well as ideas on how to advertise it to the local community, recipes, quizzes and other downloadable resources.
Now local businesses and individuals are organising events to help top up the total further. On Sunday the kitchen and bar staff at The Paris Hotel, including landlord Ian Richards, carried out a TikTok dance harbour jump with well wishes for Holly, who was a kitchen porter at the pub. Collection buckets have been put around, which raised £150 on the first day, with staff also put all their tips in there. J M Grose & Son’s Cornish Potatoes and Cornish Produce will be donating 50% of the takings from its next local delivery orders to the cause, while earlier last week, before the fundraising appeal was launched, the Trengilly Wartha Inn raised £500 for Cornwall Air Ambulance which airlifted Holly to hospital.
Cornwall Air Ambulance is encouraging supporters to dress themselves up as superheroes for their latest fundraising challenge. The lifesaving charity has launched the 5K in a Day - Superhero Challenge, asking supporters to walk, run, jog, cycle any route of their choice over the weekend of 5-6 June. The challenge has been put on to raise the vital funds needed to keep the helicopter flying and saving lives across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. The Superhero Challenge is free to sign up for and participants who raise a minimum of £20 in sponsorship will receive a superhero medal as a thank you from Cornwall Air Ambulance.
Fundraising to support the family of a teenager in a critical condition after falling from her horse raised more than £3,000 in the first seven hours. Holly Martin from Coverack fell while horse riding on April 12. She was airlifted to Bristol Children s Hospital and has been there ever since, with a serious brain injury. Now the community of the Lizard Peninsula is rallying behind the 15-year-old Mullion School student and her family, to help with the expenses of travelling to and from the hospital and staying nearby, as her recovery could take up to a year. A JustGiving page set up by Emily Priddis at www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/comeonhollypop more than tripled its £1,000 target in hours and the total is still rising.
