A go-karting event has driven in donations to raise vital funds for the lifesaving services of the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance.
Brackley-based Xclusive Recruitment organised a charity go-karting evening alongside their business partners in a bid to raise funds for the 24/7 frontline charity. The event saw 11 teams racing around the Formula Fast indoor karting track at high speeds and the Mercedes F1 Flat, no lift team were crowned the winners of the evening, ahead of the Yodel Full Throttle team and the Pallex Red Arrows.
“We had a great time and are thrilled to have been able to put on this evening in support of the local air ambulance which does such an amazing job, saving lives across Northamptonshire and further afield,” said David Doolan, founder and managing director of Xclusive Recruitment.
Each Air Ambulance mission costs the charity £1,700, with Xclusive Recruitment’s efforts in raising £3,700 to fund two potentially lifesaving flights.
Darcy Hodges, community fundraising executive for WNAA, said: “The support of our local community and businesses is so important to our charity as we receive no government or national lottery for our daily missions. Events like these mean so much to us as they help to keep our service operational, and we are so grateful for Xclusive Recruitment’s support in doing this.”
