the county. These talks and
events are very popular and
help bring in donations,
large and small, to aid our
fundraising effort.
John Perry, Chief Executive
Officer said; “The Hampshire
& Isle of Wight Air Ambulance
relies very heavily on the
The CBK Isle of Wight
Grand National
support of its Volunteers.”
HIOWAA is looking for
volunteers whose interests
range from talking to groups
of people & organisations,
manning stalls at events,
raising funds in the community
and from businesses, to
helping with administrative
tasks in our Head Office.
If you feel you have the
characteristics and attributes
that will help keep the Air
Ambulance flying and saving
lives, and would enjoy
donating some of your time as
a volunteer, the Charity wants
to hear from you.
