Our 2025 Charity of the Year Takes Flight with Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance

We are so pleased to announce our new partnership with Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance as our Charity of the Year for 2025. This partnership reflects our dedication to supporting organisations that have a significant impact on our local community.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance is a charity that provides an advanced Critical Care Team to those who are sick or injured in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight area when it is needed most. They’re on call day and night all year round, responding to numerous emergencies daily.

The charity recently launched its Operation Airbase Appeal to raise £3.6 million for a new, centralised operational base near Southampton Airport. The plans to bring its critical care and charity teams under one roof into the heart of the community will mean that the specialist doctors and paramedics on board will reach almost every patient across the region within 10 minutes of take off. After receiving approval from local authorities in July 2024, the appeal will fund the transformation of the industrial unit in Southampton and turn it into a fully operational base.

This year we are looking forward to supporting Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance as our Charity of the Year, which is chosen by our employees, through taking part in different fundraising initiatives, events and volunteering.

Karen Clarkson, Marketing and Business Development Manager expresses her excitement for the new partnership, “We are honoured to announce Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance as our Charity of the Year from 2025. The exceptional work of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance in providing life-saving care during critical times is truly inspiring. I was privileged to visit their current site in Thruxton recently and was overwhelmed with the stories and everything that they achieve. The fact that our support this year will go towards their Operation Airbase Appeal is an added incentive for us to support and contribute to them. Our Charity of the Year partnership fosters strong relationships with local charities while also giving our employees the chance to support a cause that resonates with them personally. We look forward to a successful collaboration throughout 2025 and to making a meaningful impact together.”

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance Director of Income and Engagement, Keith Wilson, said: “Our airbase relocation will drastically improve the lives of people in our region for many years to come – lives of parents, parents, children, siblings and friends. Without the extraordinary dedication from individuals and organisations such as Parker Bullen Solicitors, this move would never be possible. On behalf of our charity and our patients, I cannot thank them and their employees enough. We are all incredibly excited to see what this partnership has in store.”
