Egg-stra funds for air ambulance thanks to Burgh-le-Marsh firm

Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance has received a £6,250 New Year boost from Fairburn’s Eggs.

Sales of the company’s Lincolnshire Free Range Eggs have topped up the charity’s funds by £5,500 in the last two years - and recent festive fundraising by the company and its staff added the additional £750.

Fairburn’s shells out 1p from every dozen of its regional free range eggs* sold in local Asda and Lincolnshire Co-op stores to Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance, and since it started doing this seven years ago around £21,500 in total has been raised.

In the run up to the festive season, the company also donated funds instead of sending Christmas cards and staff joined in with fundraising.

CEO Daniel Fairburn said: “I’m really proud that we’re able to kick 2021 off with such a large donation to this brilliant charity. Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance is literally a life-saver and I’d like to say thank you to all our customers who bought our fresh eggs and helped us to raise this total.”

Tanya Taylor, Corporate Partnerships Manager at Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance, said: “Patients’ lives depend on us being there and Covid-19 has had a huge impact on our ability to fund our life saving work.

"No one wakes up thinking they will need the help of the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance, but with crews on call 365 days of the year, our highly skilled doctors and paramedics help people involved in life-threatening incidents every day.

“Whether on board the helicopter or one of our Critical Care Cars, our crew are there for patients involved in emergencies when every minute matters.

"Continued support from local businesses such as Fairburn’s Eggs helps make this possible.

"On behalf of the team here at Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance, thank you Fairburn’s for making a difference”.
