Another recording breaking collection at Witham Round Tables firework display on the 5th Nov 2006 managed to raise over £6000 thanks to the generosity of the local people. 50% was donated to the Essex Air Ambulance. Every year Witham Round Table put on a magical display of colours that light up the sky. All proceeds of this annual event go to local charities. Any local charities and good causes may contact Witham Round Table at charity@withamroundtable.co.uk
The Essex Air Ambulance is an emergency helicopter used to convey people into the nearest hospital within 8 minutes. It receives no Government or National Lottery funding, relying on donations and fundraising. It can reach anywhere in Essex within 18 minutes, during daylight hours, carrying full life support equipment. Witham Round Table is proud to support the good work of Essex Air Ambulance.
Every year Witham Round Table puts on this display and every year it gets busier than ever and we would like more help. We encourage anyone interested to find out more about joining Witham Round Table. Although a male organisation for those aged between 18 and 45, Witham Table has an active program of events involving partners, wives and families
