Magpas

Magpas has been operating for over 40 years. It supports the Ambulance Service by providing the Magpas Helimedix Air Ambulance and a Magpas specialist medical team which is despatched to cases of life threatening illness or major trauma in the East of England and beyond.

The charity operates a helicopter and rapid response car, staffed by highly trained Pre-Hospital Doctors and EEAST Paramedics, many of whom volunteer their own time to work with the organisation. The charity does not receive Government or National Lottery funding and relies wholly on generous donations from the public. We need to raise almost all the £2.8 million a year to provide our vital service.

It was extremely important for us to develop our Magpas Lottery, so we took the decision to appoint LFS as our lottery partner. We worked with LFS to find the best way for the Magpas Lottery to complement our overall fundraising strategy. LFS took the time to understand the need for our cause, as well as the main messages to communicate to potential Magpas Lottery members.

'Without a shadow of doubt LFS have transformed our lottery. In the space of around four and a half years they have nearly tripled our membership. The quality of recruitment is excellent and they are first class ambassadors for us whilst they canvass in the communities that we serve. The canvassing team are polite, courteous and knowledgeable but more importantly are enthusiastic whilst being respectful. At some stage this year we will go through the million pound a year barrier. We could not have achieved that without LFS'.

Our nominated charity

Friends of Ray of Hope

At LFS we feel it is important that we contribute to the wellbeing of UK communities, either directly or through our charity clients. Additionally the founding Directors were touched by the efforts of a local charity which selflessly supports children in Uganda. The Friends of Ray of Hope finance a school and feeding programme in Kampala’s slums, giving education and support where it is lacking. All contributions made go in their entirety for benefit of the children of Uganda and in to the tireless work of the charity.

As a company, LFS recognises that within corporate social responsibility, there is an opportunity to champion people in need wherever they may be, and to work towards providing hope and opportunity to those less privileged. LFS is proud to provide financial assistance to the charity and to support the sponsorship of 12 children. As our nominated charity, we also offer our professional expertise to the Friends of Ray of Hope to help them deliver their work.

Please visit the charity website to see the amazing difference the charity makes.
