We receive no government funding for the work we deliver. Therefore we rely on partnerships to help us keep delivering projects and funding equipment for our colleagues.
We consider ourselves a small regional charity BUT leaving a big lasting impact to our colleagues and volunteers at South Central Ambulance Service in addition to the communities we serve in. You can be apart of that too!
No matter how big or small your business is we would be delighted to hear from you to discuss ways we can work together.
For further information relating to business support please get in touch with our senior fundraiser Tammy Angus.
Businesses are increasingly seeking to enhance their corporate social responsibility objectives and we as a regional charity we are equally keen to build relationships with our corporate community across the South.
Below we have highlighted a number of ways your company can partner with South Central Ambulance Charity:
We would be delighted if you could adopt South Central Ambulance Charity as your Charity of the year partner. We will work together in the essence of true partnership to create a programme of fundraising initiatives that will inspire and excite your staff and customers.
Being a charity partner is a great way to engage your staff, raise your profile, learn about the impact of a local regional charity, have fun ALL whilst improve the lives of others.
Could your business donate a proportion of the profits to us from the sale of a particular product or service. We can work together to identify the best way to achieve this.
This mutually beneficial collaboration could help boost your sales, promote your business and make others aware of South Central Ambulance Charity within your community and networks.
We can collaborate and work with you to ensure all appropriate legal agreements are in place to allow the partnership to run smoothly.
Support us through your business sales
If you run or work for a small business, we understand that you’re pulled in all manner of directions, so we’re incredibly grateful when we hear you want to support us through your venture and donate just by doing the work you already do.
We’ve found an even easier way for your small business to donate to us, through the sales of your products and services. You can choose the amount and frequency of your donations – plus, with no minimum (or maximum!) donation amount, it encourages flexible fundraising for you as a small business to give as you grow.
By pledging your donation via our Work for Good page, we can keep track of your wonderful support and you can join the small business community by donating in a legal, simple and sustainable way that works for you and your business.
We’d love to join you on your journey – if you’d like to start supporting us, simply sign up and pledge your donation here.
Does your employer offer match funding? Ask them and find out. This could increase your final donation to South Central Ambulance Charity.
You don’t have to have any bright ideas initially; you just need to want to support your local ambulance charity. Our Senior Fundraising Officer – Tammy Angus can work with you to create a plan and offer inspiration.

We have been working with our volunteers and the community engagement team to develop a training course in Basic Life Support to be delivered to businesses both big and small. The focus on the course is around how to help save someone’s life when in cardiac arrest.
A cardiac arrest is when the heart suddenly stops pumping blood around the body and causes someone to stop breathing and will collapse. Whilst in cardiac arrest, every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces someone’s chance of survival by 10%. This means anyone having cardiac arrest in the workplace would need your help, whether it is a colleague or a customer. Could your business deal with someone cardiac arrest?
Early intervention of CPR and defibrillation can drastically change the chances of survival. With immediate CPR and defibrillation within 3-5 minutes, chances of survival can increase survival by 50-70%.
Would you like to become a #BusinessLifeSaver in your place of work?
Our Basic Life Support Awareness Training (BLSAT) has been designed to give people in the workplace the skills and confidence to attempt to save a life.
The training includes both theory and practical elements. The key aspects are:
Class size-For the best student experience, we recommend a maximum of 8 employees with the absolute maximum group size of 12.
Where-The beauty is, we come to you.
Cost-We ask for a minimum donation of £200 per session.
Time-Depending on group size and interaction levels the session is designed to be between 2-3 hours.
We would also be happy to discuss any bespoke requirements to meet your needs.
Do you want to work with us through your business in another way which is not listed? We encourage new ideas of partnership working and would be delighted to talk through any innovative thoughts you may. Please get in touch with Tammy Angus Tammy.angus@sca-charity.org.uk 07795237516
