Commenting James said: “I am delighted that we have raised in excess of £1,500 at our AGM and conference.

“Over the weekend we raised money for the charity at the Disney themed disco which took place on Friday night and the charity leg wax undertaken by members of the presidential team.

“Air Ambulance NI provides a lifesaving service for rural communities throughout Northern Ireland and is a very worthy charity to donate this money to.”

“I extend my thanks to Jenna for coming to the Armagh City Hotel and carrying out the waxing for us.

“Thanks also go to each and every person who donated money to support the presidential team in our bid to raise money for Air Ambulance NI.”

Air Ambulance NI was one of the charities selected by YFCU president, James Speers to support during his two year presidential term.
