A village in Wrexham marked 15 years of Wales Air Ambulance flying over the country by hosting a birthday party in honour of the charity.

Residents of Froncysyllte gathered at the village’s community centre to celebrate WAA’s 15th birthday, enjoying homemade cakes, a tombola and a raffle.

WAA volunteer Janet Norman sold beautiful handcrafted cakes at the event in March, raising funds for the Welsh helicopter charity.

The Mayor of Wrexham, Cllr Barbara Roxburgh, came along to the event and cut the WAA birthday cake.

The Big Birthday Bash Weekend raised £562 for Wales Air Ambulance for their birthday.

Alyson Winn, Wales Air Ambulance Community Coordinator, said: “Having the support of people across Wales is the best birthday present WAA could ask for.

“We have been flying for 15 years, and that has only been possible through kind donations and the support from the people of Wales.

“We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who organised and attended the Big Birthday Bash Weekend for their amazing support!”
