Bake sales, fancy dress days, personal fundraising activities and the annual Christmas raffle all helped towards the total raised.
After another busy year of fundraising activities, Grant UK has donated a further £10,000 to local charity, Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance. This latest amount brings Grant UK’s grand total of donations to £75,000, funds which are essential in helping Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance to deliver their lifesaving service.
Grant UK has been a proud supporter and partner of Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance (formerly Wiltshire Air Ambulance) for over five years. With the charity’s base located less than 30 miles from Grant UK’s Headquarters, the Company’s association with Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity has grown in strength with the employees at Grant UK continuing their fundraising efforts year after year.
In 2024, fundraisers were held throughout the year at Grant UK’s offices with bake sales, fancy dress days, personal fundraising activities and the annual Christmas raffle all contributing to the £10,000 donation that the Company has recently made.
Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance deliver critical medical care, by land and air, to patients requiring lifesaving treatment. Their team of experts provide vital specialist care supported by state-of-the-art medical equipment to people in their hour of need, attending emergencies as fast as possible thanks to their Bell 429 helicopter which is able to fly to anywhere in Wiltshire in just eleven minutes and to the centre of Bath in only four minutes. In 2024, the charity carried out 1,343 missions which is an all-time high and demonstrates why support for their work remains critically important.
“Our Team here at Grant UK has been incredible with their fundraisers for Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance over the years and last year was no exception,” said Anna Wakefield, Head of Internal Sales and Marketing at Grant UK. “The activities we organise not only raise money for the excellent work carried out by this local cause but they also bring our staff together, collaborating and supporting one another in fundraisers of all sizes. We even have individuals who are braving personal fundraising challenges such as skydives. We are very proud to have donated £75,000 to Wiltshire and Bath Ambulance since 2019 and we hope to add to this total throughout 2025.”
Imogen Linham, the charity’s Corporate Partnerships Lead, added: “Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity relies entirely on voluntary donations, so to receive such long-standing support from a local business like Grant UK is so valuable. We are immensely grateful and privileged to have received £75,000 in fundraising, which has essentially paid for around a week’s lifesaving work.”
