why we do it Sharing your story Ben Ollis was three and a half when he was kicked in the head by a horse. His family shared their story and featured in a previous edition of Beeline. Ben’s full story, among others, can be found on our website ver the years, our Beeline magazine has showed O the many different ways that people support the Charity. There are those that challenge themselves to take part in sky dives, climb mountains or run marathons and those that hold events on our behalf to raise funds. There are children that donate their pocket money, volunteers who work tirelessly throughout the year to help us and thousands of you who sign up for our Flight for Life Lottery. These are just a few ways that people help us and without every single one of you, we would not be able to help so many others. Within each issue you will also read some incredible stories of courage and determination from the patients we have helped. They have all been provided by the individuals or their friends and family members and play a crucial part in helping to raise awareness of the work we do. You may be unaware that due to patient confidentiality, we cannot hold patient records. That means that unless the patients we have helped get in touch with us, we have no way of knowing the full impact of our service. We appreciate that reliving an incident can sometimes be traumatic, but in our experience, we have found that many patients get comfort from telling their tale. Some are re-united with the crew who played a part on the day and in most cases they become friends and supporters of the Charity. The process of getting in touch is simple and our patients are under no obligation to disclose anything that they would not want to be published or shared. So if you, or anyone you know, has been airlifted or treated by our team, we would be delighted to hear from you. There are a number of ways in which this can be done. You could give a personal account of the events on the day by email, phone or letter – or alternatively arrange a time for us to call or visit you at home. So please, if you have had an experience you would like to share, contact our Communications Manager, Tracy Bartram, by email: tracy.bartram@dsairambulance.org.uk by phone: 01823 669604 or by letter: DSAA, Landacre House, Castle Road, Chelston Business Park, Wellington, Somerset, TA21 9JQ.
