Learning and development centre near Leamington supports lifesaving air ambulance charity

A lifesaving charity is being supported by a learning and development centre near Leamington.

Ashorne Hill has decided to host one of the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance’s (WNAA’s) recycling banks on-site, which will enable clients and colleagues to drop off donations of clothing, accessories, and small electrical items.

“We are so pleased we partner with the charity and host a clothing bank to not only support the Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance, but to also help the environment at the same time,” said partnerships manager at Ashorne Hill, Tracey Ashfield.

“We are incredibly grateful to the team at Ashorne Hill for hosting one of our clothing reuse banks on site, it is a great and easy way to work towards sustainability and divert textiles from landfill while helping our charity to raise the £1,700 needed for each mission,” said the air ambulance’s business support manager, Liz Kelly.

By adding more donation banks across its counties, the charity hopes to make donating more accessible so it can keep attending lifesaving missions, adding to the 50,000 missions already achieved over the last 20 years.

Ashorne Hill managing director, Jon West, added: “We are proud to be able to help the Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance, the charity is close to my heart as its critical care crews attended to my mother, nine years ago.

“We look forward to the continued partnership with the charity and hope to help keep the vital service operational through the donations received via the textile banks.”
