Lincoln Business Club Raises £6,500 for Air Ambulance Charity
Lincoln Business Club, the longest-running not-for-profit community networking club in Lincoln, has proudly raised £6,500 in support of Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance (LNAA). This impressive total follows a full year of dedicated member-led events and fundraising initiatives, showcasing the strong collective commitment of the Lincolnshire business community.
Charity of the Year Extended Through 2026
The fundraising achievement was officially confirmed at a recent club gathering, where members also voted unanimously for LNAA to remain the Club's Charity of the Year throughout 2026. This extended partnership underscores the club's ongoing dedication to supporting vital local causes that make a tangible difference in the region.
Funds to Support Life-Saving Emergency Care
The £6,500 raised will directly support Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance's crucial pre-hospital emergency care service. This funding helps ensure that the charity's crews can continue responding to the most serious incidents across Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire, providing rapid, life-saving interventions when every second counts.
Robert Drury, Chair of Lincoln Business Club, emphasized the significance of this achievement: "We're proud to support Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance. The work they do is extraordinary and, for many families across our region, truly life-changing. Raising £6,500 demonstrates what can happen when businesses come together with a shared purpose. At Lincoln Business Club, we believe business should be a force for good locally, and this is a strong example of that in action."
Critical Need for Community Support
Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance operates as a charity-funded service, receiving no direct government funding for its daily operations. The organization relies entirely on donations and community support to keep its helicopters flying and its critical care teams operational. This makes contributions from groups like Lincoln Business Club essential for sustaining their life-saving missions.
Joe Harper, Corporate Partnerships Manager at Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance, expressed heartfelt gratitude: "On behalf of everyone at Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance, I want to sincerely thank Lincoln Business Club and its members for raising such a great amount. As an independent charity, every pound makes a difference. The £6,500 raised will contribute towards life-saving equipment, specialist training, and the ongoing costs of delivering rapid response care when and where it is needed most. We are extremely grateful for the support of the local business community."
Purposeful Connection and Community Impact
This successful fundraising initiative reflects Lincoln Business Club's continued focus on fostering purposeful connections among local leaders. The club brings together business professionals not only to grow their enterprises but also to support causes that have a direct, positive impact on the communities they serve.
Lincoln Business Club extends its sincere thanks to all members, sponsors, and event attendees who contributed to these fundraising efforts. Their collective generosity has made a meaningful difference in supporting emergency medical services that benefit the entire region.
