Howard Lake | 18 July 2013 | News

Mark Davies has been appointed as Director of Development at London’s Air Ambulance charity. He will be responsible for all fundraising activities, from community fundraising and corporate partnerships to trusts and events.

He has worked as a fundraiser for a variety of medical, health and education sectors. He joins from the Centre of the Cell where he was Assistant Director. Before that he was Trust and Foundations Manager at Queen Mary, University London.

Davies said: “I joined London’s Air Ambulance because I passionately believe in the charity’s cause, its ability to grow and to expand our income streams.

"The service that our supporters enable us to deliver is unique. No other charity in London does what we do. We are the only provider of advanced pre-hospital medicine in the capital."

He added: "A lot more can be achieved if we manage to dispel some of the misconceptions around the fact that we are a charity and need to raise significant funds. We are reliant on donations and we want the public to know that we need and greatly value their support."
