Stourbridge car dealership helps secure grant for air ambulance charity
A STOURBRIDGE car dealership has helped secure a grant for the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity.
The Stephen Eagell Group, an official Toyota dealership, obtained the funding through the Toyota Community Fund.
The £1,800 grant will support the emergency service's patient liaison and aftercare service.
Iain Sercombe, Stephen Eagell Group's CDA general manager, said: "We obtained the grant through the Toyota Community Fund, a programme of small grants designed to help local charities, schools and community projects.
"In the past financial year, the fund has supported many deserving causes in the UK, including the lifesaving service provided by Midlands Air Ambulance Charity."
He added: "We feel proud to have been able to make a difference through the Fund for this vital service that directly saves lives in the West Midlands."
The money will contribute to the charity's support for past and present patients and bereaved families.
Debbie Briden, the charity's grants and trusts manager, said: "We are grateful for the support from both Stephen Eagell Group and the Toyota Community Fund for the £1,800 towards our dedicated patient liaison and aftercare service to support our past and present patients through their recovery as well as provide help for bereaved families through their grief."
