.1 Charity ‘aghast’ at firm’s scheme


A LIFESAVING char^ ity is warning people not to be taken in by a moneyspinning venture using its name. The N o r th West Air


Ambulance - the region's only medical air emer­ gency service and a regis­ tered charity - is urging businesses to beware of a scheme run by a company called KDM Publishing


UK Ltd in Oxton, Wirral. The publishing compa­


ny c la i^ to be producing an Air'Ambulance maga­ zine on behalf of the North West Air Ambu­ lance (NWAA) and is con­ tacting businesses asking them to support the chari­ ty through advertising. The NWAA would like


to stress that KDM Pub­ lishing is definitely not


working for the charity on any such publication. Because the NWAA


receives no mainstream funding and therefore relies solely on the gener­ ous support of the people and businesses of the region to fund the £1.3 million a year to keep the service airborne, it has reported KDM Publish­ ing to the police and Trad­


ing Standards. Lynda Brislin, charity chief exec­ utive for the NWAA, com- meSted: “This really is deplorable behaviour and we are aghast that a com­ p an y which has no involvement with’us feels th ey can make gains at our expense. “We strongly urge any­


one that has received this invoice to ignore it.”
