FRODSHAM Methodist Church Ladies Group has been busy this summer selling afternoon teas, books, plants, local produce and handicrafts to raise much needed funds for the North West Air Ambulance.

A grand total of £800 was raised at their summer fair held at the end of July.

Susan Powell, of the North West Air Ambulance, received the cheque from Ruth Caldwell, one of the founding members of the ladies group, at a presentation evening held at Frodsham Methodist Church.

Mrs Caldwell said: “Each year at the ladies group AGM we decide on a charity which we will support during the following year.

“This year I suggested the North West Air Ambulance because shortly before there had been several instances locally where the air ambulance had assisted in rescuing and getting casualties quickly to hospital.”

Frodsham Methodist Church Ladies Group meets on Mondays at the Church Hall, Kingsley Road. Call 01928 733180 or visit www.frodshammethodist.org.
