WHEN Countrywide staff in Ledbury decide to fund-raise, the county's Air Ambulance is never far from their thoughts.

This week was no exception, when a grand raffle with more than £1000 of prizes hit the target of £2000 for the Air Ambulance.

The event took place on Tuesday, October 10, during a special promotions days for the local farming community and other customers.

Deputy manager, Michael Hall said it was the rural nature of the county that made support for the air ambulance so important.

He said: "In countryside, you might always need them. The Air Ambulance is something we can't lose."
