PEOPLE who have been airlifted to hospital by the Yorkshire Air Ambulance are urged to get in touch with the organisation to help celebrate its 18th birthday.

The lifesaving charity will mark its 18th on October 25 and residents are also invited to join in the celebrations, and help fundraise, by holding their own parties.

Former patients can email j.mdonnell@yaa.org.uk and to get involved visit yorkshireairambulance.org.uk.
