Post by Ann »

The SMCA came across this story in Bucks Free Press today, where our members (if they have accounts with Nationwide Building Society) could help TVACAA to recieve an additional £5,000 of funding from the Nationwide Building Society's new initiative - The Big Local, see below:

Bucks Free Press, dated April 5, 2013

"Your Votes could land charity £5K"

A charity is hoping to gain a cash boost is asking for the public's support.

Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance is shortlisted in Nationwide Building Society's new initiative - The Big Local.

The charity could receive £5,000 from the building society if it receives enough votes.

Each month Nationwide chooses three charities nominated by it's members from a different UK region.

The three chosen charities, which includes TVACAA, have been awarded £200 and members can now visit the new Big Local website
http://your.nationwide.co.uk/thebiglocal and vote for the charity they would most like to receive an additional £5,000 of funding.

TVACAA is an organisation that provides a first class life-saving service. The helicopter, BOB, delivers rapid medical attention when and where it is needed and transports patients to the mnost appropriate hospital to receive treatment best suited to aid their recovery.

Sarah Williamson, head of fundraising at TVACAA, said "We are incredibly grateful to have been nominated.

The charity's aim is to ensure that this life-saving helicopter and its crew continue to fly. TVACAA receives no funding from central Government or the National Lottery and relies entirely on public generosity to keep the service operational. Please vote for us."
