A CALL for volunteers has gone out to hose fundraising tea afternoons in aid of the Essex & Herts Air Ambulance Trust.

The EHAAT are seeking people to host their own Very British Afternoon Tea in June.

This year’s campaign is being supported by Kate Oliver, who was airlifted by the air ambulance when she fell into a coma with life changing injuries following a crash eight years ago.

Kate made a successful recovery and now runs a tearoom herself.

Maria Alexander, head of fundraising for EHAAT, said: “We are appealing to individuals, community groups and businesses who love cake to gather their friends and colleagues, put on an apron and get baking.

“Last year’s campaign was an extraordinary success, and we hope that this year’s initiative will continue to raise much-needed funds for our life-saving service.”
