A WOMEN’S institute in Newquay has helped a lifesaving helicopter charity in its mission after making a £1,855 donation.

Peaches and Cream WI presented the money to Cornwall Air Ambulance at its March meeting held at the Crantock Street WI Hall following their fundraising throughout the year.

Sally Bowden from Peaches & Cream said: “We enjoyed an informative presentation from Cornwall Air Ambulance supplying us with facts, figures and insights into its flying missions.

“We then presented our donation cheque from our yearlong fundraising, which was from various events including a jumble sale, bottle tombola and curry feast.

“This was generously supported by our members and special thanks to Kath for organising all the fundraising events.”
