Larne-based Kilwaughter Minerals has extended its support of Air Ambulance NI with a £20,000 donation to the lifesaving charity. The Co Antrim firm donated a further £20,000 back in 2022 to ensure Air Ambulance NI could continue to deliver its vital helicopter emergency medical service across Northern Ireland. Caroline Rowley, Business Development Director at Kilwaughter Minerals, said, “Our comprehensive corporate social responsibility programme commits in the region of £200,000 annually to initiatives such as Air Ambulance NI.
