Raising funds for FLEET

Although LostFest is a free festival, it does count on your support and generosity in giving donations to an essential local charity – FLEET

The Front Line Emergency Equipment Trust (FLEET) has supported the ambulance service in Cornwall for the last 20 years. Thanks to its team of fundraisers and the generosity of people throughout Cornwall, FLEET has spent over £1.5 million on life saving equipment, with the majority of funds used to purchase ambulance equipment and paramedic bags.

LostFest has been proud to support FLEET for the last 4 years and to date we've raised over £10,000 for the charity. All profits from this year's event will go directly to FLEET to purchase new equipment. We are deeply indebted to our generous sponsors, our stallholders, advertisers in this programme and to everyone who donates to support this event.

The First Responder Scheme in Cornwall is one of the many services in which FLEET is involved. The scheme works to train members of the public in what are normally rural or isolated areas to deal with incidents such as cardiac arrests or choking. These people are often first on the scene when such an incident occurs and provide a quick response before an ambulance arrives. By helping to provide training and equipment to many First Responder groups, FLEET helps facilitate an invaluable service to the local community.
