Fiona Dugdale, of Kirkham, has organised the event every year after her brother Steven Garratt was involved in an industrial accident in 2010 and was airlifted from the scene by NWAA.

He died at hospital, aged 57, but Fiona and her family are grateful for the support they received from the charity and make sure their ladies lunch at Ribby Hall is an annual event to thank NWAA for the time they gave Steven.

Fiona said: “knowing that the North West Air Ambulance airlifted Steven and gave him the best chance of survival is such a comfort to the family and we continue to support them so they can be there for others now and in the future.”
