SNAPSHOT ON SHOPS NEW WADDINGTON WAREHOUSE NOW OPEN!
Our brand-new warehouse is now open in Waddington, situated at The Quarry on Grantham Road. Whilst we had to say farewell to our Charity shop in Bracebridge Heath, our new location means that we have our Charity shop with access to a huge storage space under one roof! The new warehouse is a real treasure trove for bargain hunters. As well as traditional Charity items, we now have a wide range of quality furniture available, from traditional pieces to large items perfect for upcycling projects. You can find our new warehouse at Unit 1, The Quarry, Grantham Road, Waddington, LN5 9NT.
We have 10 Charity shops across Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire, all helping to fund our life-saving service. Our shops are a very important part of our Charity, as every penny spent in our shops helps to keep our Ambucopter flying 365 days a year. Here’s an update on what’s been happening across our shops and some more info on how you can help us raise more funds for our Ambucopter!
HANDBAGS WANTED!
From designer clutch bags and vintage purses to practical yet fashionable rucksacks, our customers cannot get enough of our donated handbags. So much so, we’re looking for more of these items to sell in our shops to raise money for our Air Ambulance. Whether you have a pre-loved evening wear essential, a stylish travel bag or an everyday favourite, please consider donating this to one of our Charity shops. You can visit your nearest Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance Charity shop with your donation or call 01522 214694 (Lincs) or 01623 423049 (Notts) to arrange a free collection.

IVY CELEBRATES 10 YEARS OF VOLUNTEERING
14 SKYSHOUT
Our long-standing volunteer Ivy recently celebrated a decade of volunteering with the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance. Ivy has volunteered at our Spalding shop for the last 10 years and has played such an important role within our Charity by dedicating so many hours of her time. She is a very popular member of the team with our customers and always has time for a chat!
To celebrate the occasion, our Spalding Shop Manager, Jill McGurk, baked Ivy a delicious cake and presented her with cards and flowers from friends and colleagues from across the Charity. Our volunteers are incredibly important to us – we rely on the efforts, ideas and expertise of those who support us. We simply wouldn’t be here today without volunteers like Ivy, and we cannot thank them enough!
