Bri, just reading the DLRAA website, they need a £1400 donation to cover the cost of one rescue mission.

Headway. They give support to those who have suffered a brain injury or their carers. Anyone from people like Chris8886 and his memory problems to a 33 year old stroke sufferer who needed his house adapted so he didn't have to go into a nursing home. The chap whose wife had a fall down the stairs and hit her head leaving her in need of constant care and he just needed someone to care for her while he shops for groceries. They help all sorts of people. Not medical research, but vital support.

Given the hilarious maintenance cost of helicopters, fuel etc and crew I'm surprised it's that cheap actually.

If it was me I'd be splitting it between Parkinsons UK, RNLI, the yorkshire air ambulance and maybe water aid or my mate's parish in South America.

OK, Headway looks interesting, thanks LPH.

Any more ideas?

The £40 or so that I would spend on cards gets split between the air ambu[lance] no not you,and the childrens hospice.Our society also takes presents to the hospice and it brings a lump to my throat when you see such young kids who have such a short futures ahead of them.

i was just gonna say headway to you when i saw this post and she's right, i've been a user of their services for nearly 2 years now and they have always been fantastic to me. plus you can make it a more local donation by the fact that you'll be able to make your donation to headway northamptonshire i would think. as the services that help me are called headway hertfordshire, so i think it's done by coounty.
