SCCA and FORFAR ROTARY CLUB

Forfar Rotary were paid a visit from Helen MacGregor from Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance who updated the club on its progress providing this life saving service. Helen praised the Club for its donations and here is a part of her well delivered interesting talk.

Income - Since May 2013 you, Forfar Rotary have raised an amazing £27,527.12!

Awareness – With SCAA at the forefront of all your advertising for the Strathmore Classic Car Tour you have helped raise awareness of SCAA not just in Forfar but right across the country.

Long-term Relationship - From the first day the helicopter was on the helipad we have had support from Forfar Rotarians and we are delighted to again be benefiting from your 2018 Car Tour. Thank you!

It costs £2.2m each year to keep our expert paramedic crew in the air and able to respond to time-critical medical emergencies across Scotland, 12 hours a day, 365 days a year. On average we respond to one emergency every day and we can only do that because of the generosity of the people and companies of Scotland. We really appreciate your ongoing support.
