Exmouth: Devon Air Ambulance sees donation spike after treating victims of Plymouth shooting

Devon Air Ambulance has seen a spike in donations after assisting other emergency services at the scene of the mass shooting in Plymouth last week.

Emergency services were called to Keyham, Plymouth just after 6pm on Thursday 12 August. The charity's crews treated patients at the scene, together with Cornwall Air Ambulance and Somerset & Dorset Air Ambulance.

One donor said to the charity: "Thank you so much for everything you do - you deal with unspeakable situations with such dignity and grace."

Head of Communications at Devon Air Ambulance, Charlotte Leventis, said: "Last night's unspeakable incident was tragic and shocking. Our thoughts are with the families, friends and the community of those affected. The support the public has shown to Devon Air Ambulance in the aftermath, and their messages of support to our crews, has been very welcome.

"As a charity that is independent of Government funding, our crews are able to continue to serve patients in Devon and beyond only thanks to the support of the local communities we serve and to whom we are immensely grateful.

"We continue to welcome donations in support of our service."
