Camel Valley Vineyard

Camel Valley has donated thousands of pounds over the years to help keep the Cornwall Air Ambulance helicopter flying. The Bodmin-based winery has been in partnership with the charity for more than 10 years, raising vital funds from their popular vineyard tours. Donations to the charity from Camel Valley exceed £23,000.
Bob Lindo, owner of Camel Valley Vineyard, said: “My daughter Esther was taken to Treliske in the Cornwall Air Ambulance and we’ve been donating ever since! I’ve been rescued by the crew myself after breaking my spine in an RAF ejection. The sense of relief, when you hear the rotors approaching, is beyond belief, but it’s not a trip I’d like to repeat.”

The Greenbank & The Alverton Hotels

Ben Young, Managing Director of the Greenbank and Alverton Hotels said: “We recently learnt that whilst around 15% of Cornwall Air Ambulance’s vital lifesaving work in Cornwall is for the benefit of our out-of-county visitors, less than 5% of the required revenues come from the tourism sector. It is our responsibility as hoteliers to do our bit to make a difference to this surprising statistic, by our deeds and not by our words.
We put together a range of activities in support of Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust and raised over £10,000 per hotel!
“Our team took part in sponsored walks from Falmouth to Truro, hosted grand gala fundraising nights, foodie events, donations, collections, and so much more.”
