Over the past year the Champion Group, staff, suppliers and friends have been holding monthly dress down days and numerous events to raise money for their nominated charity for the year, the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance. We are delighted to announce we have raised £570 over the past year. Well done to all those involved and those who donated to a very worthwhile cause.
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance
The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance began operations on 1st July 2007. The Helicopter is based at Thruxton Airfield near Andover and their Head Office is at St Mary's Stadium in Southampton. Every day the Air Ambulance crew provide an efficient, prompt response to road traffic collisions, sporting accidents, collapses, and many other incidents throughout Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The Helicopter is called out many times per day, and these missions are often life saving.

It is their aim to provide an exemplary Air Ambulance service to the people of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, conveying patients to the most appropriate hospital for their needs. With your help and support they will continue to extend the service, and keep the Air Ambulance flying and saving lives.
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance receives no funding from central government. It relies solely on voluntary donations. It currently costs the charity £110,000 each month to keep the Air Ambulance flying and they couldn't do it without the constant support we receive from the people of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
