Local legal firm Coodes has selected the charity it will be supporting for the next two years.
Following a vote by staff, Coodes has chosen Cornwall Air Ambulance.
The firm recently raised over £20k for its last chosen charity, Cornwall Hospice Care, through fundraising efforts organised by its designated charity team.
Now, the team will turn its efforts to supporting Cornwall Air Ambulance, which has been taking to the skies to rescue people across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly since 1987.
The charity needs to raise over £7 million each year to continue to operate and help fund the running costs of its helicopter and Rapid Response Vehicles (RRVs), as well as specialist equipment that helps it operate 19 hours a day in all weather conditions.
Emily Stark, solicitor and charity lead at Coodes, said: “The Cornwall Air Ambulance is a vital resource for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
“I’m really looking forward to supporting the fundraising efforts next year which are sure to be great fun for all Coodes colleagues.”
Julia Jeffery, corporate partnerships manager at Cornwall Air Ambulance, added: “We are incredibly grateful to Coodes for choosing Cornwall Air Ambulance as their charity for the next two years.
“Support from local businesses enables the aircrew to attend patients who are seriously ill or injured, when every minute really does matter. Every penny raised will go towards making sure we can continue to provide our lifesaving service for years to come.”
