Members of From Lions recently visited the airbase to donate a cheque for £2,000 to our crew members.
Unfortunately the aircraft was in Frome attending a mission, so many of the members were unfortunate not to deliver their donation in person.

The success of a Dorset brewery’s traditional ale has brought a £14,647 boost for the county’s Air Ambulance over the past two years.
