SURVIVAL TRAINING FIRM LIFTS CHARITY WITH FUNDRAISING EVENTS
A leading offshore survival training firm has completed its fundraising year with a significant amount of money raised to help a local air ambulance service run its vital services.
Falck Safety Services (Falck), which has 32 training centres across the world, including two UK centres in Teesside and Aberdeen, has raised more than £5000 to its chosen charity of the year, The Children’s Air Ambulance (TCAA).
The team at Teesside, which handed over the cheque to TCAA last week, managed to more than double the original target of £2000 by hosting bake sales, a race night, football and Christmas raffles, dress-down days, individual challenges and received donations from training delegates and clients.
ONE AND ONLY TCAA is the first and only dedicated national helicopter emergency transfer service for critically ill children and babies across the whole of the UK.

“It has also been a fantastic way to bring the team together and boost staff morale as most events were completed as a group.”
A PERSONAL THANK YOU
TCAA National Partnerships Manager for the north, Sophie Burt, said: “It was great to meet the team at Falck and thank them in person for all their hard work raising such a fantastic sum of money. As we receive no government funding and each transfer costs approximately £2,800, generous donations like these really do keep hope alive for our young patients.”
HUET (HELICOPTER UNDERWATER ESCAPE TRAINING) The firm, which globally delivers over 200 safety and survival training courses to more than 340,000 people each year, participated in various fundraising initiatives throughout the year, including a sponsored HUET dunk in its state-of-the-art helicopter simulator facilities, which challenged 14 clients and employees from Falck to switch roles and undertake two escape runs in the helicopter.
Finance Director at Falck Safety Services UK, Niel Rennie, said: “At the start of 2014, Falck selected the air ambulance as our nominated charity and over the year we have participated in various fundraising activities to raise as much as we can. TCAA is the only dedicated helicopter transfer to cover the whole of the UK and does not receive any government funding so it is reliant on public donations and support from the local community and it is great that Falck can support this vital service.
