Carbis Bay Hotel & Estate in St Ives, Cornwall, is delighted to announce the remarkable success of its fundraising campaign in support of Cornwall Air Ambulance.
Through a series of events and initiatives throughout 2023, Carbis Bay Estate and their guests have raised a wonderful £83,606 for Cornwall Air Ambulance, an essential service that plays a crucial role in providing emergency medical assistance to those in need of critical care across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
Thanks to the local support and the generosity of attendees and stall holders at the annual Festive Coastal Christmas Market and Carol Concert held on the Estate in December, an amazing £11,218 was raised. Some of these funds were doubled as part of the Jess’s Journey Christmas campaign , thanks to the charity’s generous match funders and this was topped off with £2,000 kindly match-funded by Lloyds Bank.
Along with the incredible generosity of guest donations, Platinum Sponsorship of the helicopter, auction purchases and retail sales at the Estate Deli, an additional £59,401 was added to the fundraising effort.
Julia Jeffery, Corporate Fundraiser at Cornwall Air Ambulance said “We extend our heartfelt thanks to Carbis Bay Hotel for their unwavering support. Their Coastal Christmas Market was a tremendous success, thanks to the generosity of their guests and the local community, contributing to vital funds that enable our critical care crew to reach patients in need when every minute manners.”
The funds raised will directly contribute to Cornwall Air Ambulance’s ongoing mission to deliver rapid, life-saving care to those facing critical situations.
