Cornwall Airport Newquay Raffle Raises Money for Local Charities

Cornwall Airport Newquay has raised £147 from a team raffle held last week, with all proceeds going to two local charities: Prickles and Paws Hedgehog Rescue and Cornwall Air Ambulance. The raffle items were donated by passengers, and the funds will be evenly distributed between the two organisations, both of which play vital roles in Cornwall’s community.

Supporting Prickles and Paws Hedgehog Rescue

In celebration of World Animal Day, Cornwall Airport Newquay highlighted the important work of Prickles and Paws Hedgehog Rescue. Based in Cornwall, this centre provides emergency care, rehabilitation, and release for British hedgehogs. The rescue also conducts essential research, education, and conservation efforts to help protect one of Britain’s most beloved wildlife species.

Prickles and Paws’ work is vital to safeguarding Cornwall’s biodiversity and wildlife. Find out more about their mission here.

Cornwall Air Ambulance: Lifesaving Across Cornwall

Cornwall Air Ambulance, another beneficiary of the raffle, provides critical care to people across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Its helicopters and trained paramedics offer rapid response medical attention, covering everything from road incidents to emergencies in remote locations. This charity-funded service ensures that people in Cornwall have access to urgent medical care when it’s needed most.
