General

Huddersfield Insurance Brokers, Eastwood and Partners’ charity committee has raised £1,620 for Yorkshire Air Ambulance at their first ever ‘Corporate Quiz Evening’. This beat their target of £1,500 set before the event.

The event, organised by Eastwood & Partner’s Vicky Shaw and held at The John Smiths Stadium saw 18 teams of 4 pit their wits against the quiz mistress. The teams were made up of Huddersfield firms including Boulton’s Estate Agents who took first prize. Yorkshire Air Ambulance also entered a team coming in second place, which included Captain Andrew Lister (Chief Pilot), Dr Jez Pinnell (Medical Advisor), Huddersfield based John Baxter (pictured) and Sam Burgess (Aircrew Paramedics), with Barclays Bank a close third.

Paul Gowland, Director of Fund Raising for Yorkshire Air Ambulance commented:

“It was a great evening and raised a fantastic sum for Yorkshire Air Ambulance. We’re really thankful that Eastwood and Partners chose our charity to focus this fundraising effort on, corporate support like this is invaluable and we look forward to many more successful events in the future.”

Vicky Shaw, Account Executive at Eastwood and Partners and quiz mistress on the evening commented:

“I was really pleased to see such a great turnout and I’m happy we were able to raise £1,620 for such a worthy cause. Hopefully this event will be even bigger

next year.”

The new drive by the well-respected Huddersfield firm will see them organise and run various fund raising activities in 2014, with the Corporate Quiz Evening in aid of Yorkshire Air Ambulance becoming an annual event

Peter Sunderland, Chairman of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance:

“We are absolutely delighted to hear the news that The Chancellor will be relieving the 5% VAT that we currently pay on our fuel. This will mean that as a Charity, we will be saving around £7,000 per year. This money can now be used to help fund the running of both of our life-saving helicopters. It costs £9,990 per day to keep both of the helicopters in the air and helping to save lives, and we are delighted with this extra bit of support from the government.”

On Thursday, 6th March 2014, as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme for 2014, Leeds-based Q8Oils will be supporting the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Flying seven days a week, 365 days a year, the Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA) is an independent charity providing a life-saving, rapid-response emergency service to over five million people across Yorkshire. The service covers major cities, motorways and rural and isolated locations in the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Parks.

Commenting on the announcement, YAA Regional Fundraiser, Kerry Garner said:

"We are delighted that Q8Oils has chosen us as part of its 2014 CSR programme. Their generosity, like that of our other patrons and supporters, is the lifeblood of the charity, without which we would not be able to provide the service that we are so proud of.²

The charity needs to raise nearly £10,000 per day which is £3.65 million per year to keep both of its MD902 Explorer air ambulances maintained and in the air; and Q8Oils has already planned its first fundraising event as part of its efforts.

The first event is the 25 mile Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge which will take place on Saturday 5th April and Q8Oils is inviting staff and their friends and family to take part or make a donation.

Commenting for Q8Oils, country manager Andy Dixon says:

"The Yorkshire Air Ambulance receives no direct government funding so we are arranging numerous fundraising events throughout the year to help raise funds from our friends, families, customers and suppliers to ensure that the YAA keeps providing life saving services."

Those interested in supporting Q8Oils¹ 2014 CSR programme and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance can request sponsorship details by calling Q8Oils on 0113 235 0555 or emailing Marketing@Q8Oils.com.

Huddersfield Town Club Partner Expect Distribution has pledged its support to this year’s Pedal for Pounds bike ride by offering its 45 foot liveried trailer to transport the cyclist’s bikes down to the starting point in London.

P4P5 cyclists will drop their bikes at PPG Canalside the night before the event on Tuesday 22 April where they will be loaded on to the Expect trailer ready for it to travel down to the capital ready for day 1 of the fundraising bike ride on Wednesday 23 April.

Neil Rushworth, Managing Director of Expect Distribution, (pictured here with Expect Operations Manager Mark Dunne, Katie Collinson of YAA and HTAFC Club Ambassador Andy Booth) said, “We are delighted to offer support to this year’s Pedal for Pounds.

“It’s great to see so many cyclists taking part to raise money for such a fantastic cause and the event grows in profile year on year.

“It’s a fantastic team effort from those who organise the event; through to the dedicated cyclists who take part and we are more than happy to lend our assistance where we can.

“We wish everybody the best of luck with the ride and their fundraising!”

Supporter Partnerships Manager Robyn Deegan added, “Without a doubt the most difficult element of planning the p4p bike rides is the logistical side.

“Getting 300 people down to London is easy enough, but getting their bikes there is a much harder task!

“On behalf of all the Club and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance I would like to express our thanks to Neil and the rest of the team at Expect Distribution for their support in helping us do this- put simply we couldn’t have done it without them.”

This season marks the fifth annual Pink Link Pedal for Pounds bike ride in aid of the ‘Keep It Up’ campaign which raises funds for the YAA charity and the HTAFC Academy.

The ride will begin at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium, with participants cycling 250 miles back to the John Smith’s Stadium in time for HTAFC’s last home game v Leicester on Saturday 26 April.

Local life-saving Charity, The Yorkshire Air Ambulance have benefited from a £8,000 grant from The People’s Postcode Trust, a grant-giving charity, funded entirely by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.

The vital funds, which were donated through their grants program, have been used to help by a state-of-the-art heli lift for the YAA’s new airbase at Nostell Estate near Wakefield.

The heli-lift is a vital piece of equipment for the Charity, allowing the crews to easily move their helicopter from the landing pad to the hangar each evening and morning.

Captain Andy Lister, Chief Pilot of the YAA commented “Our helicopters each weigh around 3 tones (6500lbs) so they are extremely heavy pieces of equipment to move around! Having the use of the new helilift at Nostell allows us to quickly and safely move the aircraft between the hangar and the landing pad.

All our crews have also been fully trained in how to safely use the heli-lift.“

The heli-lift was purchased from Doncaster based TLC Handling.

Captain Lister also added “We would like to extend our thanks to The People’s Postcode Trust for their generous grant of £8,000 which has contributed to us being able to buy this vital piece of equipment. Without support such as this, we would not be able to continue to help to save lives across Yorkshire.”

The revolutionary design of the TLC heli lift has the capability and versatility to handle almost any make or model of skid mounted helicopter without the need for reconfiguration.

People’s Postcode Lottery is a charity lottery, where players play with their postcodes to win cash prizes while raising money for good causes. As a charity lottery, 45p from every £2 ticket goes to support charities and good causes across England, Scotland and Wales, including People’s Postcode Trust. People’s Postcode Lottery believes in supporting local communities so the money raised stays local to players.

The Yorkshire Air Ambulance provides a rapid response emergency service to five million people across the county. As an independent Charity, it does not receive any direct government funding – the only help it does receive is the secondment of its paramedics from the Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust.

It needs to raise £9,990 every day to keep its two helicopters in the air – that’s the equivalent of £3.6 million a year.

We are delighted to have been chosen by the Tickhill Grand Prix as their Charity Partner for the next three years.

With the Tour de France heading for Yorkshire this year, there is no better way to celebrate cycling than in gods own county!

The Tickhill Grand Prix is a fantastic fun day out for all the family with the excitement, thrills and spills of top level Cyclists racing through the streets of the beautiful, historic Yorkshire village of Tickhill near Doncaster. It will be a fantastic day out for everyone and it’s also FREE to spectate !

There will be many races on the day to include; Youth, Junior, Penny Farthings, Elite Men & Women so something for all age of spectators. We are also hoping to bring one of our helicopters to the event for a visit (subject to operational requirements), so this is a day not to be missed.

The public will also be able to get involved by ‘Roller Racing’ for us!!

Tickhill Grand Prix will be actively raising funds for us during the day however they have also promised to donate 50p from every £1 profit made from the event!!

Friends of Doncaster Sheffield Airport (FODSA) raised the funds through attendance at local galas and events throughout the summer whilst promoting the Airport and FODSA.

The friends also looked after the pay booths as a large ‘Rescue Day’ event, held at 7 Lakes Country Park, Crowle –  rescueday999.com  – where they also added to their YAA fundraising pot.

Fundraising at Doncaster Sheffield Airport also helped towards the grand total of £3330 when FODSA had a stall in the terminal at the annual World Duty Free Sale in November.

Paul Maddison, Vice Chairman of FODSA said: “The Yorkshire Air Ambulance is an incredibly worthwhile charity and we are delighted to once again be able to help support them and the invaluable service they provide. 

“All the members of FODSA have a real enthusiasm for aviation so the Yorkshire Air Ambulance was an obvious choice when we were looking for a charity to fundraise for.

“We would like to thank all the companies who supported us in our fundraising for their kind and generous donations.”

The Yorkshire Air Ambulance is an independent charity providing a lifesaving rapid response emergency service to 5 million people across Yorkshire. The Yorkshire Air Ambulance helicopters fly seven days a week, 365 days a year, covering a vast landscape that not only includes major cities and motor ways, but also rural and isolated locations.

Yorkshire Air Ambulance Community Fundraiser for South Yorkshire, Charlie Pearson, said: “We are very grateful to everyone at FODSA their continued support of our charity.

“We need to raise £12,000 per day to keep both of Yorkshire’s Air Ambulances maintained and in the air. The generosity that we receive is the life blood of the charity and without it we would not be able to provide the service that we are so proud of.”

The event raises money for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and the Huddersfield Town Academy. Last season’s P4P4: Tour of Yorkshire ride in May 2013 raised an a staggering £190,000 for the campaign.

Huddersfield Town’s Supporter Partnerships Manager Robyn Deegan commented:

“It is amazing to see such a high number of people signing up to get involved with the Pink Link Pedal for Pounds 5. What is even more pleasing is that 40% of the entrants are brand new and have never taken part in a P4P event before!

“We are very close to reaching the £1 million target now and with the help of the cyclists, as well as all those who have donated or taken part in a ‘Keep It Up’ event, it won’t be long before we hit it.”

National property consultancy Carter Jonas, together with sporting event organiser Breathingspace Live, will be holding Yorkshire’s second most highly anticipated cycling event of the summer. As the glare of the world’s sporting media turns to Yorkshire this July for the Grand Départ of the Tour de France, Carter Jonas is rapidly signing up cycling enthusiasts around the country to take part in its own version of the famous French event; the Yorkshire Pedalthon, which will raise funds for Yorkshire Air Ambulance and public transport charity Sustrans. The event will take place on Thursday, 22 May, and riders will have the choice to complete either the 80 mile Yorkshire Challenge or the 40 mile Yorkshire Scenic route. Both circular routes will start and finish at Ripley Castle in North Yorkshire, with the Yorkshire Challenge riders heading into the heart of the Yorkshire Dales including the steep climb out of Wharfedale to the top of Kidstones Pass, a climb also featuring on the Tour opening day. Having completed the climb riders will descend in to spectacular Wensleydale and on to Masham where they will join the Scenic route riders at the famous brewery town before returning to Ripley Castle for a Yorkshire hog roast. David Aspland, Carter Jonas’ head of Commercial in the northern region said: “The Pedalthon promises to be a one-off sweatworking event for enthusiastic cyclists in the business community to have some fun in the scenic Yorkshire countryside, whilst raising money for charity.” He added: “It will also be a perfect opportunity to showcase the very best of Yorkshire produce that will be available at several fuelling stations along the way.” Gary Verity, chief executive, Welcome to Yorkshire, said: “When we won the bid to host the Grand Départ in Yorkshire we knew this would showcase our glorious region to the world but we also knew it would be a great opportunity for the people who live and work here to get involved too. “The Carter Jonas Pedalthon is exactly the kind of unique event I was hoping for, and I wish it every success.” The Carter Jonas Pedalthon is open to both individuals and corporate teams, with individual entry costing £150 and teams of four costing £500 each. Sponsors and partners include Berwins Solicitors, Ripley Castle, English Heritage, Crowther Turnbull Booth and Earthmill.

Yorkshire Air Ambulance have appointed a new Regional Fundraiser for North Yorkshire.

Helen Gowans, 49, previously ran a small family timber business and has more than 20 years experience in sales.

She joins a small team of fundraisers working for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, the independent charity that needs to raise £9,990 a day to keep its two helicopters in the air.

Helen, who lives in Masham, said: “I really wanted a new challenge and wanted to move into the charitable sector, so I handed over the reins of the business to my son and am really enjoying this new role.

“Everyone has such love and respect for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and the work that it does. One of the charity’s two helicopters is based in North Yorkshire – at RAF Topcliffe – and in such a rural part of the county people really appreciate the value of the service.

“People feel the Yorkshire Air Ambulance is their air ambulance and know that it could be called to help anyone at any time.”

Helen will be working with North Yorkshire Regional Fundraiser Manager Tony Doveston by representing the charity at events and coordinating its volunteers’ activities throughout the area.

Yorkshire Air Ambulance provides a rapid response emergency service to five million people across the county. The only help it receives is the secondment of its paramedics from the Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust.

Here's Helen in the above picture outside the charity head office.

We are pleased to announce that starting on Monday 23rd December we have nearly 500 YAA adverts sweeping across the region on various bus routes.

This is such an amazing opportunity for YAA to raise awareness across the whole of Yorkshire!

We will be running a social media campaign from Monday 23rd December for two weeks. Using the hashtag #YAAONTHEBUSES!

In aid of the ‘Keep it Up’ campaign

Huddersfield Town is happy to announce that the third annual ‘Walk for Pounds’ event has raised an incredible £16,396.17 for the ‘Keep It Up’ campaign!

175 fans walked the 19 miles from Yorkshire Air Ambulance’s then airbase at Leeds Bradford Airport to the John Smith’s Stadium on Saturday 5 October in aid of the unique fundraising campaign, which benefits both the Huddersfield Town Academy and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance charity.

The walk, which was sponsored by Stotts Coaches, was the third event of its type the Club has organised, with the previous two events to Bury FC in 2011 and Barnsley FC in 2012 raising a combined £43,000 for the campaign.

Huddersfield Town Supporter Partnerships Manager Robyn Deegan told htafc.com:

“I am delighted that the event has raised such a huge sum of money for the campaign; on behalf of the Club and YAA I want to thank all those people who got involved and took part. I would also like to thank the main sponsor, Stotts Coaches for their fantastic backing as well as Orchard Energy, who also supported the event.

“The ‘Keep It Up’ campaign would not be possible without the continued support of Huddersfield Town fans, who since 2009 have raised just over £980,000 in a variety of different ways.”

The next KIU event is the Pedal for Pounds 5: The Chapman Trail bike ride from Arsenal FC to the Stadium between Wednesday 23 April and Saturday 26 April 2014.
