Volunteers needed for airport-based café
WALES Air Ambulance’s Caffi HEMS has funded more than 100 lifesaving missions across Wales, and the charity is appealing for supporters to donate their time in the restaurant.
Coffees, cakes and meals served from the Caernarfon airport-based café help to generate donations to fund the lifesaving helicopter charity’s operations.
Victoria Williams, Caffi HEMS Manager, said: “Caffi HEMS is Wales Air Ambulance’s first café, and helps raise the £6.5 million needed every year to keep WAA’s helicopters flying, through selling fresh food made from beautiful local produce.
“We rely on the kind support we receive to run our services. Whether it is an hour here and there, or a few hours a week, your support will help to raise vital funds.
“And you can see your support at work, as the café has panoramic views of the airfield so you can watch all the aircraft take off, including the Wales Air Ambulance going out on the missions you are helping to fund.”
The Caernarfon café serves freshly prepared food, made from produce local to the area and hosts regular events showcasing the stunning cuisine Wales has to offer.
The charity are looking for volunteers to join the Caffi HEMS staff in a variety of roles.
Victoria said: “We are a close team and take real joy in hand-crafting delicious food for our supporters and raising lifesaving donations for the charity.
