AG announces Air Ambulance NI as its official Charity partner for 2020

AG – the innovative specialist building products company – is delighted to partner with Air Ambulance NI as its charity partner for the year as it commemorates its 60th anniversary in 2020.

The worthy charity selected by AG employees provides critical care when and where it’s needed most.  The new partnership will see employees at AG fundraise for the charity through a wide range of activities throughout 2020 including a charity walk up Cuilcagh mountain on Friday 3rd April.

The Cuilcagh mountain walk not only will help to raise much needed funds but will also fulfil ones of AG’s core values of Wellbeing, allowing staff to take the afternoon off to get active, connect together, have some fun and give to charity at the same time.

Cathy Read, HR Business Partner details: “As part of our ongoing employment engagement strategy we placed the decision regarding our Charity of the Year into the hands of our employees, who voted for the charities they felt most passionate about.  We are excited to be partnering with such an outstanding charity in our 60th year and look forward to doing our bit to support its amazing work in the coming year.”

Air Ambulance NI, in partnership with Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS), provides a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) and responds to severely ill or injured patients, seven days a week, 12 hours a day.

From its base in Lisburn it can reach any part of Northern Ireland in approximately 25 minutes. The service’s primary role is to deliver advanced critical care, benefitting those whose lives are at serious risk following significant injury or trauma by bringing urgent medical assistance directly to the patient at the scene.
