Friends and family of a Northumberland farmer who had a life-threatening accident in 2019 have organised a Christmas market to raise money for the service which helped saved his life.
25-year-old Hamish Burn was able to receive lifesaving treatment at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary thanks to the quick reactions of the Great North Air Ambulance, which cut down what would have been a journey of more than an hour by road from Hamish's home village of Lowick to mere minutes. And now, members of the community have organised the Christmas Market to raise money for a "vital" rural resource.
As well as raising money for the charity, it will give local creatives and independent businesses a platform to sell their wares. Those who will have stalls on the day include Polly's Petals, She Sells Sea Shells, Cushions Forever, Wild Homemade Crafts, Shopafrolics Bags and Purses, and Amy Izat Art; while there will also be food and drink on sale too.
