Penryn Primary Academy were supported by the Cornwall Air Ambulance last year following an accident on site, their response time was amazing and the crew were so helpful and friendly. Luckily, the Air Ambulance was a precaution and the ambulance service provided all the care needed. Our children got to speak to the crew and view the Air Ambulance and were very keen when they returned for a planned assembly! The Cornwall Air Ambulance is a vital emergency service for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, as a charity they rely on donations to fund their vital work. Our school children will be walking, running, skipping or moving a combined total of 1144 miles, which is the amount of missions the helicopter completed last year . We are aiming to raise £1144; sponsorship will be taken via a ‘go fund me page’ by using the link below. Thank you in advance for supporting this cause and helping us reach our goal.
