Supporting GNAAS: Our £1000 Donation to a Lifesaving Cause

The Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) is a lifesaving healthcare service operating throughout the North East, North Yorkshire, and Cumbria. It covers 8,000 square miles by operating two helicopters and rapid response vehicles 365 days a year. The public entirely funds its fantastic work.

With specialist doctors and paramedics on board, the air ambulance effectively brings the hospital to the most critically ill and injured people, giving them the best chance of survival.

The surfacing division of Rainton Construction recently completed a project at Progress House, the North East base.

We met with Facilities Manager Julie Jameson and Paramedic Marcus Johnson, who told us more about their roles at GNAAS. We also had the chance to see one of the helicopters in their fleet, the Dauphin.

MGL Group donated £1,000 through the MGL Foundation Trust to support their critical work, plus two hampers for the team at the charity’s HQ in Eaglescliffe, to thank them for their commitment and dedication to keeping our region safe.
