The #LCIFLions grant provides immediate support for this emergency service that touches lives in all our communities. Equipment and supplies were identified by air ambulance charities themselves. The total £161,468 (covered by the grant) includes separation screens, isolation, and decontamination equipment as well as PPE and other supplies. Research by @LionsClubsBritishIsles and @airambulancesuk revealed the impact of #COVID19 on air ambulance charities meant considerable extra, unbudgeted – day to day costs alongside a reduction in fundraising. Local #Lions clubs have continued to support their communities facing difficulties due to COVID-19. This latest boost for air ambulance charities comes on top of £140,000 awarded in grants to food banks and other causes nominated by Lions clubs across the British Isles.
