WHO WE ARE<br />
A note from the Chairman<br />
Roger Morgan, Chairman of the board of<br />
trustees, bids farewell to Gareth Williams,<br />
our long-serving Lottery Manager<br />
ife can be a bit of a lottery at times…<br />
L<br />
Last year, the Dorset and Somerset Air<br />
Ambulance was deployed to help<br />
someone I worked with for more than 25<br />
years after she was involved in a road traffic<br />
incident. More recently, my niece fell off<br />
her horse and was knocked unconscious.<br />
Both incidents are reminders that fate<br />
can make an intervention in one’s life and<br />
suddenly everything can change.<br />
The air ambulance is an incredible resource,<br />
available 365 days a year. The skills of our Clinical<br />
Team really can make a difference at that critical<br />
moment when patients are in need. However, this<br />
fantastic life-saving resource may not have been around<br />
today, if it wasn’t for the fundraising generated by our<br />
Lottery Team.<br />
Gareth Williams has been with the Charity almost<br />
since our inception in 2000. As Lottery Manager he<br />
has been instrumental in growing our lottery from<br />
the very first £1 to where it sits today – our biggest source<br />
of funding.<br />
Gareth with his<br />
Lottery Team:<br />
Caroline Guy<br />
(back), Kim<br />
Crabb and Sue<br />
Dengel (front)<br />
After many years of service, Gareth retired at the<br />
end of March. The achievement of leading a team that<br />
continues to generate such significant funds, enabling<br />
the Charity to be financially stable, plan for the future and<br />
invest in our Clinical Team should be highly commended.<br />
On behalf of all the Trustees, I would like to thank Gareth<br />
for all his hard work and dedication over the years and<br />
wish him all the best for a very happy retirement. Perhaps<br />
anyone reading this who is not a member of our lottery<br />
might consider signing up – you may not win the cash<br />
prize, but you will know that someone, somewhere will<br />
benefit as a result. It may not be you, but it could be<br />
someone you know – it was for me.<br />
