Corporate Support

Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust is very privileged to have the support of a number of local, regional and national businesses who sponsor events, provide equipment and make regular donations. We are always working to forge new relationships with businesses to help us reach our £1.6 million fundraising target to keep the helicopter flying.

There are numerous ways for your company to get involved and start saving lives….

Sponsorship

Why not sponsor a Cornwall Air Ambulance event or part of one? We have several exciting one-off events planned for our 25^th Birthday in 2012 as well as events which can be sponsored over a multiple year period.

We always have a 'wish list' of both large and small items of specialist equipment identified by the paramedics to ensure that our patients get the best care possible. Please contact the fundraising team to find out what we are currently looking for sponsorship for.

Employee Fundraising

• Why nominate Cornwall Air Ambulance as your Charity of the Year?
• Plan an activity or fundraising event for your colleagues - dress down Friday, raffle a day off work, a coffee morning or a sponsored abseil – anything goes!
• Payroll Giving is simple to operate and it can help you to build good relations with your employees, ensuring that their donations to Cornwall Air Ambulance cost them less and the taxman more (!) It is a win-win situation for everyone involved. To find out more about setting up a payroll system click here
• Many companies operate ‘Match Funding’ and match the amount their employees raise, perhaps through taking part in a sponsored event or activity - again a great way to build good relations with your staff
• Help promote our sponsored and ticketed events to your employees (and clients/suppliers) – perhaps through your website or magazine.

A word from our supporters:

David S. Newby, Director, PPT Systems Ltd

PPT believes that the Cornwall Air Ambulance is a vital component of the Emergency Services in Cornwall.  Many people owe their lives to the rapid response times that only an air ambulance helicopter can achieve and we ourselves know people who have been helped by, and are here today because of, this service.

PPT is the leading supplier of commercial and industrial cleaning equipment in Cornwall and we are proud to be able to support, in a small way, the operation of this service.  As a Kärcher Development Dealer we have supplied a pressure washer (donated by Kärcher) and PPT will support and maintain this machine free of charge.  Proper cleaning of equipment and airframes is one vital element of preventative maintenance ensuring maximum availability of the service."

John Parks, Manager, JJB Sports – Truro 

JJB sports is delighted to have forged a partnership with the Cornwall Air Ambulance.

As one of the UK’s leading sports retailer we at JJB Truro wanted to lend our help and support to a worthwhile cause at the same time keeping the money we raised within our community. We adopted Cornwall Air Ambulance as our chosen charity because of the crucial service it lends to our community. 

The mini Triathlon Day we held with Team JJB just being pipped at the post by Team Air Ambulance  was, we thought, a great way to add a bit of fun whilst showing that we as a store are not only 'serious about sport' but also serious about raising money for this worthwhile, essential charity. 

JJB Truro hope this will evolve into a long and happy partnership with lots of money raised along the way!!!
