Banish those holiday blues and enjoy a staycation for charity

The Great Big Staycation is here to inspire residents to make the most of their immediate surroundings.

Pitch a tent in the garden, take a mini-break in the campervan (on the driveway) or transform your home into a hotel.

Donate to LNAA the cost of a holiday treat, such as your favourite cocktail, deckchair hire, a bottle of sun cream or the bill for that slap-up meal.

And while you’re at it, why don’t you recreate your favourite holiday image?

Tag the charity in your social media pics with #GreatBigStaycation and the charity will pick a winner, who will be invited to our new HQ, meet the crew and see the #ambucopter for real.

Fundraising Director Jason Cater said: “The impact of Covid-19 means we can’t go out to events or raise money in some of the more traditional ways we normally would.

“While this has been a challenging time and we are forecasting a drop in our income, we turned our thinking to the wonderful British summertime and what we could do to inspire people to take advantage of what they have on their doorsteps while we all continue to stay as safe as possible.

“We are really looking forward to seeing your pictures and hope that our supporters across Lincs & Notts will get creative. Hopefully some of us here at LNAA have provided a bit of inspiration with our own recreations.”
