A TOWN'S annual fundraising efforts are helping to keep a life-saving service in the air.
As one of her final official duties, the President of the Richmond Meet, Christine Hill, caught up with the Yorkshire Air Ambulance at Burn Hall, Easingwold, to present them with a cheque for £200.
Christine has chosen the Air Ambulance as the president's charity for the second year running and she presented the cheque during a break in the crew's training schedule.
She said: "The ambulance service is absolutely vital to the community, and the Air Ambulance particularly so, for those who enjoy the Dales, either as residents or visitors.
"There is no telling when an accident or ill health will require urgent transport to hospital. It is reassuring to know there is an Air Ambulance available to the area."
