Ginette Sixsmith, of the group, said: “With the Yorkshire Air Ambulance needing £9,000 a day to keep the helicopters going and Marie Curie Cancer Care nurses needing £10,000 an hour to continue their care work, we feel that they are both very worthy causes which would benefit from our donations and are also very close to our members’ hearts.”
