Paultons Park in the New Forest has named Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance as its latest charity partner.

It is one of three ‘premium charity partners’ for the theme park and will benefit from fundraising activities on site and donations from visitors. The charity also supports Lymphoma UK and Young Lives vs Cancer.

“We’re delighted to welcome the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance to our premium charity partner programme,” said Paulton’s Park deputy managing director James Mancey.

“By working with a handful of charities over a number of years, we’re able to contribute meaningfully to the important work they deliver in our area.”

Specific fundraising for the air ambulance charity will be for its Operation Airbase plan to relocate to Southampton Airport. Each call out made by the charity costs on average £3,500.

The charity’s director of income and engagement Keith Wilson said: “It’s an absolute dream come true to partner with one of the most iconic tourist attractions in the country.

“We know the team at Paultons Park will give everything to help save and improve lives across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight – and we can’t wait to start that journey together.”

We paid a visit to our new premium charity partner, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance at their airbase this week! 🚁
It was wonderful taking a look around the helicopter and talking with their paramedics about the life-saving missions they attend every day.
