Charity of the Year Status:

Is your business or organisation interested in making Kent Air Ambulance its Charity of the Year?

Many companies make Kent Air Ambulance their charity of the year. Charity of the year status allows a business to involve its entire work force in fundraising activities for our life saving helicopter.

This could be through sponsored events, fundraising activities or Payroll Giving. (see below)

During the 2008/09 tax year over £105,000 was raised for our life saving charity from collection tins through out Kent, that's over £8,700 per month. For more information on homing a collection box, please call Shirley on 01622 833 833.

All you need is to register with us and ask everyone within your business or organisation to donate just £1 to Kent Air Ambulance and then wear their funkiest shoes, whether they be a mis-matched pair of shoes colourful laces or just crazy, wacky shoes. Whichever takes your fancy!

It's simple and easy and the best bit is your workforce, can still wear their normal dress.
