Lia’s Wings is pleased to announce that Pula Aviation Services, the parent group of our strategic flight partners Capital Air Ambulance, has recently agreed to donate a generous amount of non-restricted funding over the next three years.
Building upon strong partnership foundations set back in March 2023, when we formally re-branded as Lia’s Wings, this donation shows a strong, continued commitment to helping Lia’s Wings become a leading charity within neonatal and paediatric transport.
Steve Page, CEO of Pula Aviation Services, was keen to share his thoughts on our partnership, which has already achieved so much for the families we fly and is set to achieve even more over the next three years. He says:
“We take great pride in our partnership with Lia's Wings, which has a special place within our aviation businesses. Selecting Lia's Wings as our group charity was a natural and straightforward choice as we continue on a shared journey to make a lasting, positive impact. This pledge captures the responsibility and a culture of compassion that resonates throughout our business and extends to our families and business partners.
"Our active involvement with Lia's Wings is a testament to the success of our air ambulance missions. Whether it's our medics, pilots, engineers, or ground staff, each team member plays a crucial role.
“We look forward to supporting Lia's Wings in 2024 and contributing to the well-being of many families.”
Charlotte Young, CEO of Lia’s Wings, wanted to express her gratitude and hope for what this support will mean for Lia’s Wings going forward. She says:
“Pula Aviation Services and their team of dedicated staff were instrumental in supporting Lia’s Wings in what was our busiest ever year in 2023, with a record 32 transfers undertaken. As we look ahead to 2024 and see the growing need for our service, we are incredibly grateful to have Pula Aviation Services working with us to ensure we can support more children and families than ever before.
“Providing our charity with unrestricted funding for the next three years will enable us to increase the reach of our service both in the UK and overseas, and develop our family support offering. We are so grateful to Pula Aviation Services for everything they do for us, and we are looking forward to working in partnership with them over the next three years and beyond.”
On behalf of everyone at Lia’s Wings and the families we support, we want to say a huge thank you to Pula Aviation Services. It is fantastic to have you on board!
