Jill was the chair on the board of Trustees for Lucy Air Ambulance and continued to be involved until ill health forced her to from active duties which is why we have nominated this charity in lieu of flowers.
Lucy Air Ambulance for Children is a national charity that funds flights for children to hospitals across the UK by aeroplane.
Each week a child is referred to service needing a transfer by plane between hospitals. Our transfers mean that:
Children who are too ill to travel long distances by ambulance can be flown quickly and safely for specialist care and surgery including organ transplants
Premature babies born away from home who are too fragile to travel by road or helicopter can be transferred in our one–of–a–kind flight incubator, so they can receive neonatal care closer to home
Children who are nearing end of life can be taken to a hospital closer to home to spend more quality time with their family.
Children needing local care are not left vulnerable due to NHS regional transport teams being taken out of area for extended periods of time.
Any parent with a seriously ill child just wants their child to get better. We make sure they are in the right place, to get the right treatment, at the right time.
