Out and about with Ken & Bob...

Out and about...
This afternoon Ken and Bob took some time out from their election campaign to support the St Neots Rugby Club and their festival in aid of MAGPAS.

Meeting Debbie Florence
Magpas Fundraising Manager

Bob explains: "MAGPAS is a charity, made up of volunteers from the medical profession such as Doctors, Paramedics and medical volunteers. Every penny they get is from donations and fundraising or organised events like these."

MAGPAS is despatched through the 999 service and delivers specialist A&E level treatment to patients at the scene of very serious road accidents and life threatening medical emergencies.

Ken continues: "Both Bob and I are very happy to support this charity in anyway we can. The running costs for this year alone will be in the region of £2.5 million! This is not about making ourselves popular to residents, it's something we both want to raise awareness of through the blog. The more people that know about the fantastic work MAGPAS do - the better!"

£66,000 to fully fund one training Doctor

£2,500 to purchase 5 flame and chemical retardant uniforms and boots for Doctors & Paramedics.
