We want to say a massive thank you to Jo and Nigel for holding an amazing Gala Ball at Ilsington House, Puddletown on Saturday 8^th October in aid of DSAA.

‘Mission Possible’ was a spectacular event attended by 119 people. Those who purchased a ticket were treated to a sparkling reception, fantastic dinner, an auction and live music! In total, the event raised a staggering £36,179.

With the approximate cost of one air ambulance mission equating to £3,000, this means that Mission Possible has helped to fund the cost of 12 life-saving missions!

Emma Jones, Fundraising Manager at Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance said:

Mission Possible was the most beautiful event. I want to thank Jo and Nigel, our hosts, for their incredible generosity in making it a truly magical evening. The auction prizes from individuals and companies were unbelievable, as was the amount raised from the fabulous guests at the event. Hearing the stories of why people wanted to donate to DSAA was humbling and heart-warming. Thank you so much!
