The Ipswich Red’s drivers are getting into the spirit today to raise money for the East Anglian Air Ambulance by donning festive attire.

Russ Smith, operations manager at Ipswich Red’s, said: “It is a difficult time for us all presently, especially with the recent news that parts of the country are moving back into lockdown.

“But when some of our drivers approached me with the idea of dressing up in Halloween attire to raise awareness and funds for East Anglian Air Ambulance, I thought, what a great idea.

“We could all do with a giggle and equally it is being done for a very good cause.”
