Yorkshire Air Ambulance appoint regional fundraising manager
Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA) appointed a new regional fundraising manager which sees Vickie Bowden promoted to manage the whole of West and South Yorkshire.
YAA serves five million people across Yorkshire and carries out over 1,300 missions every year. The charity operates two state-of-the-art Airbus H145 helicopters and needs to raise £12,000 every day to keep saving lives.
Vickie joined YAA in 2016 and her move into fundraising and the Charity sector was accidental but she has never looked back.
Businesses large and small play a critical role in raising both awareness and funds for Yorkshire Air Ambulance and this year, Vickie will be focusing on building relationships within the South Yorkshire area. There are many ways businesses can get involved from sponsorship opportunities to fundraising initiatives, volunteering opportunities and employee engagement schemes.
