Ukulele Orchestra of Spalding hands over £500 to Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance

A popular orchestra has hit a high note with a charity contribution.

The Ukulele Orchestra of Spalding have handed over a cheque to the tune of £500 to the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance.

The cash was raised from their events and concerts.

"It was a unanimous decision by us all to nominate LNAA,” said an orchestra spokesman

“The air ambulance is a vital device and we all wanted to do our part to keep it flying."

LNAA Community Fundraiser, Jac Sutherland, recently visited the group and gave thanks for this fantastic donation.

She said: "It will cost £10 million in 2024 to keep LNAA operational, enabling our dedicated pilots, doctors and paramedics to carry the most up-to-date life-saving equipment and take an emergency department directly to the scene of some of the most serious incidents in Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire.

“As we receive no regular direct funding from the Government, we rely solely on the generosity and goodwill of people and organisations like Ukelele Orchestra of Spalding to support our work."

The Ukulele Orchstra has around 50 regular players of all ages and abilities, who perform voluntarily throughout the year for many and various audiences within the South Holland and Peterborough area.
