Fiona Donaghy from Belfast Pops Orchestra said:
“The Air Ambulance is a charity close to our hearts. We are so fortunate to have this emergency service in Northern Ireland and we recognise the importance of fundraising to help aid the daily running of the service.
“A number of our musicians are also health professionals and witness firsthand the impact that the Air Ambulance service brings every day to our community. It feels amazing to be able to support it in a small way, doing something that we love – playing music!
“We would like to offer our sincere thanks to Malachi for donating his time and to our sponsor for kindly providing Stormont for the concert, meaning that that more funds will go directly to the charity.”
About the Charity: Air Ambulance Northern Ireland
Air Ambulance NI, in partnership with the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, provides the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) across Northern Ireland. Operating every day of the year, HEMS responds to emergencies by bringing urgent medical assistance directly to those in need, reaching any part of the province within 25 minutes.
