Air Ambulance NI Training Day
This is something a little different. We were delighted to have the Air Ambulance Northern Ireland at Grassmen HQ recently to carry out their first ever training day focused solely on rural scenarios.

Hopefully this video will help you to realise just how vital they are to the rural community and if you are interested in finding out more or would like to give a donation then follow the link to visit their website. https://www.airambulanceni.org/
