Newport-based financial planning firm Rouse Limited rounded off their spectacular summer raffle on Friday 29 September.

Raffle ticket sales and donations totalled more than £12,700, with Rouse going even further in their fundraising efforts, matching this amount to bring their total to £25,433 – enough to fund eight emergency missions.

We are extremely proud to have been chosen as the financial firm’s headline charity of the year, in recognition of the vital lifeline we provide to seriously ill and injured people on the Isle of Wight.

Lisa Butler of Rouse Limited said:

“We are delighted with the results of this fundraising raffle and would like to thank everyone for their wonderful support, by either buying a raffle ticket or two, making one of the extraordinarily generous donations, or for donating one of the amazing prizes.

“We are particularly grateful to the volunteers, staff and clinical crew of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance for the service they provide to all of us. It has been a pleasure to have been able to support their work through this fundraiser. Not everyone won a prize in the raffle but we are all winners if this vital service is able to continue.”

Judith Stephens, our Supporter Engagement Officer, said:

“It’s been an excellent summer of events with staff and supporters from Rouse. Their generosity, dedication and creative fundraising efforts will help our doctors, dispatchers, pilots and paramedics respond to those who are having the worst day of their life. Thank you so much to everyone at Rouse for your support.”
