This Year we will be raising money for The Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance - registered charity number 1098874.

The Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance (WNAA) was established in October 2003 to provide an emergency medical service for the heart of England including Warwickshire, Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes. Prior to this, the region had relied on older, slower aircraft with limited space for onboard patient treatment. The new service shifted the emphasis from transporting casualties to hospital, to recognising the need to get senior Doctors and Consultants to the scene of incidents as quickly as possible, providing lifesaving treatment and medication at the scene and en-route to hospital. Click on the chopper to find out more about the WNAA.

 

We will be holding several fundraising events for the WNAA...watch this space!

Barston YFC 2008 Charity Events

Last Year we raised money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) registered charity No. 294354. We held two fund raising events, a Quiz Night and Clay Pigeon Shoot (details can be seen below), and managed to raise a very respectable £1800 for the charity. A cheque for the money was presented to Susan Passmore, Regional Fundraiser for the Central region of the MNDA, by outgoing Barston Chairman Jo Hayward at our Harvest Supper. Motor Neurone Disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks the upper and lower motor neurones. Degeneration of the motor neurones leads to weakness and wasting of muscles, causing increasing loss of mobility in the limbs, and difficulties with speech, swallowing and breathing.
