Get ready for Buckham Fair: We are thrilled to have
been nominated as Buckham Fair’s Charity of the Year
for 2017. The event is truly spectacular and takes place
on Sunday 20 August 2017. Martin and Philippa Clunes,
together with their organising committee, hold the fair
on an annual basis supporting local charities. We were
fortunate to be beneficiaries in 2011 and 2014, when
£35,000 and £76,000 respectively were raised, which is
absolutely incredible. So, make sure you clock the date,
it’s an event not to be missed and we look forward to
seeing you all there! For more information visit the

National Air Ambulance Week (NAAW): This takes
place between Monday 11 - Sunday 17 September 2017. It

ambulance and there are so many different ways that you
can get involved. Why not hold a mufti/dress down day
at school or within your workplace; even better, give it a
yellow theme. Alternatively, you could bake cakes, have
a coffee morning, organise an event or set yourselves a
fundraising challenge.
Skydive: For all you adrenaline junkies out there we
have secured two dates with Skydive.buzz where you can
jump in aid of Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance. The
September date falls during National Air Ambulance
Week, which gives you the perfect opportunity to support
us during this time. As you might have read from Kerry
Webber’s experience on page 32, it’s not for the faint
hearted and certainly a challenge. Both dates are listed on
the Skydive poster opposite. To book your place, simply
call: 01404 890222 or visit: www.skydiveukltd.com
Volunteers: Our team of volunteers continue to
represent us outstandingly. Without their help, we
simply could not service all the collection boxes located
across the two counties or the numerous events, cheque
presentations and talk presentations we attend. We are
currently looking for volunteers in the Dorchester area,
so if you would be interested in joining our team please
contact us and we will send you an information pack.
Once again, a big thank you from us all!
