Essex Air Ambulance is calling on YOU to take part in the Great Essex Feast

Get your friends together for a feast of your choice. You can choose to entertain your friends however you wish, whether it be a formal dinner, fish & chip supper, brunch or even pancakes & bubbly! The key objective is to raise money by asking guests to make a donation. There is no fixed amount; the more they donate the more this vital Helicopter Emergency Medical Service can help to save lives. Please note that feasts do not have to be held over the weekend of 17th or 18th March; you are free to hold your feasts on alternative dates to suit your diary.

The 2011 Great Essex Feast saw over 70 hosts from across the County entertain over 1000 guests who made generous donations and raised more than £16,000 for the Charity. This year we hope there will be even more hosts and more donations!
