Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance receives £1,000 donation from Amazon in Rugby

Gayner Coulson, site leader at Amazon in Rugby, said: “We are pleased to support the Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance with this donation and hope it allows the team to continue its vital, life-saving efforts.”

National Partnerships Manager at the Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance added: “Support like this from Amazon is paramount as we rely entirely on donations to keep our helicopters flying, so we couldn’t continue our work without generous support like this.

“On behalf of the charity, I’d like to say a big thank you to Gayner and the Amazon team in Rugby for this donation. Our crews deliver critical care at road traffic collisions, sports events, medical emergencies – such as cardiac arrest and accidents at home – and other incidents needing expert pre-hospital medical interventions, so we really appreciate Amazon’s support.”

The donation is part of Amazon’s programme to support communities in and around its operating locations throughout the UK.
