Hand In Your Handbags

Over the course of April we have been asking our supporters to hand in their unloved handbags to their local charity boutiques, the target was to fill our heli and, of course, raise vital funds for The Air Ambulance Service in the process!

We had a phenominal response that surpassed all expectation, finishing up with a spectacular 2665 handbags donated during April.

We'd like to say a massive thank you to all our wonderful supporters for donating to our shops and hope you can keep up the good work in the coming months!

The Air Ambulance Service recieves no government funding and relies entirely on generous donations from the public to keep our HEMS and child transfer service flying and helping others.

If you'd like to donate your preloved items to one of our boutiques, you can find details about all of our shops here.
