Fundraising campaigns going for gold

London’s Air Ambulance

London’s Air Ambulance Charity is asking supporters to cheer on Team GB and raise vital funds to help them continue to deliver an advanced trauma team to London’s most critically injured patients with their Olympics 2024 Sweepstake. The idea is for groups to run a sweepstake ofall the Olympic events, and the event that gains the most Team GB medals wins. Participants can download a sweepstake pack and decide how the donations are split between the charity and the winner. The charity has set a campaign target of £5,000.
