Mobile phones could be saving lives in Essex in the coming year .

The Essex Air ambulance has just launched it's mobile phone recycling campaign & It's urging everyone who was lucky enough to get new phones @ Christmas to have another think about the old unwanted ones .

The Fundraising team is appealing to people to fish them out of the bins & drawers they may have been consigned to & hand them into the countywide charity instead .

For each mobile phone recycled the Air Ambulance , Which relies solely on donations to continue it's valuable work , Recieves cash in return .

It costs £100.000 Each month to maintain the emergency helicopter .

Every mobile handed in is given a service & recycled for use either in third world countries or the UK .

Those not good enough to use again are stripped down , The batteries ditched & parts reused

So Guy's & Gals this is where i'am appealing to you , Plz if possible can you try & Hunt out any of your old mobile phones , Ask @ Work , Friends & Family etc..

I Can collect these from you @ any of the meets coming soon , I would really like to get in excess of 100+ Phones together & Do a presentation with the Scoobs of the ESC & The air Ambulance , This is a charity very close to our heart , As living out here , We rely on this service , More than any other ..

Please can you help us to Help the ESSEX AIR AMBULANCE
