The directors of Castle Grove Insurance Services Ltd are delighted to announce that we have selected the Hertfordshire Air Ambulance to receive support as our nominated charity for 2010. We hope to organise and take part in many events throughout the year to raise as much money as possible for this worthwhile local cause.
Events planned for 2010 to support the Hertfordshire Air Ambulance include:-
The 2010 London Marathon on 25th April 2010.
Please support our director Jason Brimson as he runs the London Marathon in aid of The Hertfordshire Air Ambulance. The Hertfordshire Air Ambulance is a helicopter emergency medical service with the ability to access remote areas quickly, bringing highly qualified clinicians and sophisticated life-saving equipment to patients within the first few vital minutes of an emergency. It costs around £120,000 each month to operate the Hertfordshire Air Ambulance and the Charity is reliant upon donations from the people of Herts who give generously in order to keep the county’s life-saving helicopter service in the air. Please click the following link to donate or to find out more.
We will be taking part in a Dragon Boat race at Fairlands Valley Park, Stevenage on 2nd August 2010 to raise money for the Hertfordshire Air Ambulance. To enter a team or for further details please Contact Us.
