Chances are you’ve seen the Cornwall Air Ambulance’s distinctive red and yellow helicopter fly overhead at some point. Each year, the air ambulance heads out on more than 750 calls to provide critical care to the most seriously ill and injured people in the county.

Now a new documentary, Cornwall Air 999, provides a detailed look at the incredible work carried out by the team following two months of filming this summer.
‘People are always fascinated by things they don’t fully understand and shows like this provide an opportunity to be a fly on the wall,’ says Thomas Hennessy Jones, a critical care paramedic who features in the 10-part series.

Glen Johns and Andrew Davies of Harpers Feeds presenting cheques for Devon s and Cornwall s air ambulances An agricultural feed mill based in Holsworthy has made donations to two local charities close to the staff s hearts. Harpers Feeds mill has seen many changes in its 29 years of trading but few as impactful as the Covid-19 pandemic. Fundraising is at the heart of the local farming community and Harpers Feeds has supported charities over the years. Each year a chosen charity is nominated to be champion for that year, raising awareness and encouraging the staff to fundraise. The charities Harpers Feeds have supported have been wide and varying causes, from local sports club to cancer care trusts.
EVERY year the Falmouth Rotary Club’s Christmas float is a familiar sight around the town but this year, because of the pandemic, Santa is hanging up his boots and appealing for online donations instead. The club felt that not collecting with the float was more responsible in the present crisis and has instead moved its collection activities for local charities online It does much to support local charities, having donated considerable sums this year to The Salvation Army, Cornwall Air Ambulance and the Dracaena Centre amongst others, along with their support for young carers and local youth activities. Club President Glenn Wilkes said “This was a difficult decision for the club, as the Christmas float is our best fundraiser. We have however opened a Just Giving page and hope that the public will support us through that to enable us to carry on providing a service to our community”.
