The heroic efforts of the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance on a recent descent to Brymore School, near Cannington, has inspired it’s pupils to fundraise for the Charity.
Brymore School Young Farmers Club, one of only a handful in the country to hold a school status, held a number of events which helped raise £100.

David Lindsley is a Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance fundraiser who lives in Bournemouth with his wife Diana.
The couple have paid eighteen visits to the American continent over the years, driving approximately 40,000 miles. David’s hobby is photography and it is no surprise that his portfolio includes some stunning pictures of scenes from around the world.
It was after an event which saw a close friend being thrown from her horse and needing the services of the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance that David decided he wanted to show his support to the Charity. He was amazed to find out that the Charity received no direct funding from the Government or the National Lottery and wanted to help. (more…)
