“When we met the Cornwall Air Ambulance team we were in complete awe of the amazing work carried out by the charity and wanted to help raise some of the money it needs. We asked our customers to add £2 to the payment of their holiday so that we can pass on, in full, the total donation. We initially hoped to raise £3,500 but it ended up raising over £9,000, that’s over 4,000 holiday-makers who donated!” Harriet Wills, Marketing Manager at Cornish Horizons
“Tregenna Castle are proud to be partners with Cornwall Air Ambulance. Our employees are aiming to raise funds in excess of £10,000 over the next 12 months. We are aiming to reach this target by a number of initiatives, such as online donations from our customers at the time of booking accommodation, donation buckets around the resort, a golf day, donation envelopes in our guest bedrooms plus other events throughout the year.” James Parker, Director of Operations
“We recently learnt that whilst almost 20% 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 have therefore put together a range of activities in support of Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust, and specifically the exciting New Heli Appeal. We have ambitious plans to raise £10,000 per hotel and hope to exceed this!
“Our team are looking forward to taking part in sponsored walks from Falmouth to Truro, hosting grand gala fundraising nights, foodie events, donations, collections, and so much more. With over £20,000 to raise, it’s going to be a huge concerted team effort to maximise impact across both hotels.” Ben Young, Managing Director
