Bellrose Homes Charity Partnership
Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance building success with Bellrose Homes…
Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance (LNAA) registered Charity No: 1017501 and Bellrose Homes are celebrating a unique partnership, which will help keep the iconic LNAA yellow helicopter flying to critical incidents and delivering life-saving treatment to patients.
Bellrose Homes has developed a Partnership Pledge with LNAA, in which £1000.00 will be gifted to this outstanding Charity upon Legal Completion of every home sold, recognising the invaluable work the dedicated doctors, paramedics and pilots do in providing pre-hospital emergency care to people living in Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire. The first houses to be included in this initiative are at our latest developments of four bedroomed executive homes at Hardwick Meadow, East Barkwith and four bespoke houses and dormer bungalows at Westhall Gate, Welton.

Speaking about our Pledge, Tanya Taylor, LNAA’s Head of Corporate, Community and Events said:
“We are incredibly grateful for the fantastic support from all the team at Bellrose Homes Ltd. No one wakes up thinking they will need the help of the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance, but with our crews on call 365 days of the year, our highly skilled team are by the side of patients day and night, giving people with the most severe injuries and medical conditions the very best chance of survival.”
Bellrose Homes understands that with the counties being so rural, should a critical incident occur, the need for the air ambulance would be vital in bringing a life-saving crew to the scene within minutes. We are very proud to partner with LNAA, as we build more new homes in Lincolnshire.

LNAA is one of the UK’s leading Helicopter Emergency Service (HEMS) charities, bringing the equivalent of a hospital emergency department to patients at the scene, giving those with the most severe injuries and medical conditions the very best chance of survival when minutes matter.
LNAA receives no regular direct funding from the Government. It needs to raise £8 million this year to deliver its life-saving service every hour of the day. It is thanks to the generosity and goodwill of supporters throughout the area that they can provide such a critical care service.
