Staff at the Magpas air ambulance headquarters in Alconbury received an Easter egg donation from a local housebuilder.

David Wilson Homes, who is building at Alconbury, donated the Easter treats to spread some cheer and say 'thank you' for the vital work the air ambulance team carries out across the East of England.

Magpas Air Ambulance CEO, Daryl Brown, said: “We’re very grateful for David Wilson Homes’ kind donation of Easter eggs.

"It was a wonderful surprise for our clinicians, who I know enjoyed them between missions over the Easter weekend.

"Gestures of appreciation like this are really welcomed during a busy shift and bring a smile to the faces of our doctors and paramedics!”

In 2023 (Magpas Air Ambulance’s busiest year on record) the charity responded to more than 1,900 medical emergencies and saved countless lives.

Will Phair, Sales Director at David Wilson Homes Cambridgeshire, said: “It was a pleasure to be able to donate the Easter eggs to Magpas Air Ambulance. 

“It is our hope that our donation of Easter treats can go some way in thanking staff who deserve praise for the fantastic service they provide."
