A Blandford market stallholder is appealing for items to sell in aid of the air ambulance.


Sylvia Gray, 69, sells her homemade cards and knitted items at the market every week.
But she wants to use her stall twice a year to raise money for the vital lifesaving service after observing them rescue people three times in her old village, Edmondsham, near Cranborne.

She said: “It’s a tiny little village and we could never get the internet. So to see the air ambulance there three times made me feel it was such an important service – it’s truly there for everyone, young and old.”

Sylvia needs good condition items to sell and to put in a tombola. She will run her first charity stall since 2019 in July. She already has a few things including knitted children’s garments. She would be happy to collect within a reasonable distance of Blandford, or people can bring it to Blandford market on Thursdays, where Sylvia has her stall in the Corn Exchange.

Call her on 01258 458279.
