The East Anglian Air Ambulance is getting a £15,000 donation from Mintlyn Crematorium.
It has come from a charitable scheme that sees metal from medical implants recycled after cremation with the consent of the family of the deceased.
Charities that help people cope with the death of loved ones then benefit from the project.
Borough councillor Brian Long, who is responsible for corporate services, said: “East Anglian Air Ambulance carry out life-saving work every day and have done an incredible job to continue operating during the difficult conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic. I appreciate the vital work they carry out.
“This donation of £15,000 is the largest one Mintlyn, which is owned and operated by the borough council, has ever made as part of this scheme and I thank the crematorium staff for organising it.”
Barbara McGee, Fundraising Manager of East Anglian Air Ambulance, said: “We can’t thank Mintlyn Crematorium enough for considering us for the nomination which resulted in such an amazing donation. We also want to recognise and thank all the families who consented to the scheme. Any funds raised allow us to continue with our 24/7 service through East Anglia.”
