Emergency charity receives donation from the King
A medical emergency charity said it would be able to keep operating after receiving a donation from King Charles.
Norfolk Accident Rescue Service (NARS), which responds to about 1,600 calls a year, received an undisclosed donation from His Majesty as part of the Privy Purse Charitable Trust.
The Dereham-based charity said it would allow them to keep working across Norfolk and providing emergency and critical care to people in need across the region.
Steve Maddams, from the charity's senior leadership team, said: "We are immensely grateful to His Majesty the King for his donation to NARS."
He added: "His Majesty's support enables us to continue our vital work of delivering medical care to those facing emergencies and traumatic incidents throughout Norfolk."
'Generous'
The Privy Purse Charitable Trust makes charitable donations to causes of which the monarch is patron.
NARS has operated since 1970 and attends 999 callouts with a team of volunteer doctors, nurses, paramedics and first responders.
In a post on social media, the organisation thanked the king for his "generous contribution" and pledged to utilise the funds effectively to continue its life-saving mission in the community.
"His Majesty the King's donation underscores the importance of supporting organisations like NARS, which serve as lifelines during times of crisis," the charity said.
