Garden centre staff handed over an £800 cheque to a lifesaving charity.

The head office of Notcutts, in Woodbridge, raised the money for the East Anglian Air Ambulance with raffles, baking competitions and sample item sales.

Lee Rogers, IT assistant at Notcutts, as well as a sports and social representative for the company, said: “When we voted on who we wanted to donate the proceeds of our fundraising to, the East Anglian Air Ambulance was a unanimous choice.

“It is an extremely deserving charity and we’re very happy to do our bit to support its lifesaving work in our region.”

Mr Rogers went along with Chris Bond and James Smee to present the cheque to Anna Karien-Drost, fundraising officer at the East Anglian Air Ambulance.

She said: “We were delighted to receive this generous donation, and would like to thank Notcutts for choosing us as their nominated charity.”
