Chris Elkin President of West Ashfield Rotary Club recently visited our club as guest speaker and gave an update on the work of a group of people who save lives in a very special way.
Children’s Air Ambulance fly critically ill children across the UK to the specialist care they need. We know that the longer a sick child is out of hospital, the greater the risk. The helicopter not only flies fast, but also serves as a flying intensive care unit for children. They can deliver children to safety approximately four times faster than transport by road. When every second counts this can be a matter of life and death.
We know that every day in the UK, there are two children who need their help. But right now they can only reach one in every three children who need them. They need all our help to reach the critically ill child and the Rotary Club of Bolsover will do all they can to help
