A Cars and Coffee event at Mallaghan's Dungannon headquarters raised £7,000 for Air Ambulance Northern Ireland on April 26. More than 200 cars attended along with community members.

Niall Mallaghan, from the Co Tyrone-based company, described the gathering as the largest yet. He noted the funds support a vital local service that aligns with community values.

Air Ambulance NI works with the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service to deliver rapid pre-hospital critical care. The service operates at incident scenes and during transfers to hospital for 12 hours daily throughout the year.

Damien McAnespie, Fundraising Manager at Air Ambulance NI, stated that such events help sustain the life-saving operations and increase awareness of emergency medical care needs.
