Julia has been working in retail for more than 20 years and changed to charity shops in 2013. She loves the variety that working in a charity shop gives her as she never knows what’s going to come through the door from one day to the next.  As an avid charity shop shopper Julia loves a bargain and can’t wait to get new stock out for our customer so they can get one too.

She spends her free time running her two teenage boy around to various club and events.  Julia is a keen reader and doesn’t go anywhere without a book in her bag. She also has two dogs that are a constant source of amusement as they both have very naughty characters.

After leaving school Lynnette trained as a pastry chef for three years, doing part of her training in Bavaria Germany. Once qualified she travelled to Greece to work for an English and Greek restaurant. The following season she went to work in the Channel Islands on a small island called Herm, three miles off the coast of Guernsey. She had a contract for six months and took just a rucksack but came back 16 and a half years later with a husband and two children. While Lynnette was there she was a pastry chef on and off between having children and she also helped to run the island's three gift shops. She now runs a small cake business alongside her job running the Cornwall Air Ambulance shop in Wadebridge. The cause is particularly close to Lynnette's heart as her son was airlifted in 2015.

Donna is the manager of our Newquay Charity Shop. Previously with St Peter's Hospice in Bristol, and having also worked as a training manager, she joined Cornwall Air Ambulance in August 2014.

After a while Mandy wanted a new challenge so she became a shop manager to two shops of another Cornish charity. After two years she was promoted to Deputy Retail Groups Manager for its 27 shops. She joined Cornwall Air Ambulance in 2016.

Timon moved to Cornwall 7 years ago after graduating from Brunel University with a Degree in Business and Management. He soon got a Job with Tesco in Launceston and worked on various departments from checkouts to warehouse and everything in between. After two years he transferred to the large Tesco in St Austell, where he worked on wines and spirits (so he can always recommend a good wine). This experience led him to his current role with Cornwall Air Ambulance at the St Austell superstore, where he enjoys meeting new people and raising funds, particularly for the New Heli Appeal.

In his spare time, Timon likes to go running and cycling around his small village in Bodmin Moor and exploring the various beaches and coastal paths around Cornwall. Timon is also enthusiastic about photography and enjoys taking pictures of the rugged Cornish landscape and the beautiful coastline, particularly the sunsets.
