Vehicle gift will help Air Ambulance’s vital emergency work

- RACHEL AMERY

A branded vehicle has been donated to Perth-based Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA).

Suzuki GB is helping to keep SCAA on the move with the donation, which members of staff and volunteers will use when they go out to do their fundraisin­g.

The Vitara SZ-T will mean staff can take on assignment­s across the whole of Scotland.

Nick Harvey, director of fundraisin­g and communicat­ions at SCAA, said:“With the imminent launch of our second helicopter seeing us operate from both Perth and Aberdeen airports, our staff and volunteers find themselves travelling further and more often.

“The use of a Suzuki Vitara will make a huge difference for the charity team as a support vehicle for all our fundraisin­g, public engagement and community events.

“Having a high-profile mode of transport such as this is a huge boost and we can’t thank Suzuki enough for its generous support.

“It is providing us with an invaluable resource that we could never have afforded to purchase.

“Contributi­ons of this kind helps us to raise public awareness of our work, enabling SCAA to raise more money which results in our expert crew being able to provide more care to more people and more quickly.”

The SCAA Suzuki has already been pressed into services across the whole of Scotland, from the Borders right the way up to the Highlands.

Alun Parry, head of press at PR at Suzuki GB, added:“We are delighted to assist SCAA in this new way and we hope the Vitara SZ-T will help further raise the charity’s profile and, consequent­ly, more funds for an invaluable service.

“SCAA has proved a lifeline for many people across Scotland and Suzuki is happy to give something back from the motor industry.”
