BeachHutBoy - 206Jock has some very valid questions and I look forward to your answers to them. I hope you don't mind me adding a few more for you:-
- I see from the Charity Commission website
here that you (sorry, the Children's Air Ambulance) managed to raise £56,542 and spend £52,232 in 2009. How do you plan to ramp up your fund-raising from the 2009 level to your stated need for £2M in these "times of austerity"?
- Your earlier publicity suggested you would be operating an S76. What made you change your mind to the EC135, and which CAA-approved operator will you be using for your planned service?
- I see the website mentions
five trustees and the Charity Commission only know about
three of them - Are you telling the public the true situation via the website, or telling the Charity Commission the truth? Can't be both, of course.
- Does it cost £2M a year to run, or has your online donation subcontractor got it wrong when
they say £1.5M ?
thx
