The Malthouse B&B - Charity Update

Our bed and breakfast is located in the beautiful village of Alton in Staffordshire.  We really love living in the countryside and all the guests that come to stay with us seem to enjoy it too!

There is a downside though to living in a rural place.  If there is an emergency and medical attention is needed it can take a while for assistance to arrive but thanks to two local charities help is at hand. 

We are extremely lucky to we have a wonderful team of  'Community First Responders'  based just up the road from us at Alton Towers.  Locally if 999 is dialled the First Responders often arrive within a few minutes to start giving aid before an ambulance comes.

Sometimes an accident can occur in a place that it is difficult to get to by ambulance.  Or a patient might need to be taken to hospital very quickly.  On these occasions the County Air Ambulance might be needed.    

The service that the Community First Responders and the County Air Ambulance offer is invaluable to people in a rural location.  For this reason we have been supporting both of these charities for a number of years.

If you come to stay here at The Malthouse you'll find a charity box for each of these very worthy causes in our hallway.  Recently the boxes were emptied and we are pleased to report that there was in excess of £100 in each box.   

We shall carry on supporting these charities and wish the County Air Ambulance and the
Community First Responders continued success.
