STAFF at Redmayne-Bentley stockbrokers achieved more than double their fundraising target by raising £2145 for Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA) through a series of fundraising events.

The Leeds-based firm’s charity committee visited the YAA base at Leeds Bradford International Airport to present a cheque to the crew members.

YAA’s West Yorkshire development officer Nicky de Whytell said: “As an independent charity this donation is a great boost for us, and for Redmayne-Bentley staff to raise more than double their fundraising target is a marvellous achievement.

“I would like to thank all the Redmayne-Bentley staff for working so hard to raise funds which will help to keep this vital service going. They have done the people of Yorkshire proud.”

Joanne Meigh, a member of Redmayne-Bentley’s charity committee, added: “Yorkshire Air Ambulance completely relies on donations from the public to keep their helicopters in the air and save lives across the county.

“Over 70% of Redmayne-Bentley staff voted Yorkshire Air Ambulance as the firm’s Charity of the Year.  We are pleased that the money we have raised is going to such a deserving cause.”
