Our team in Ipswich participated in the East Anglian Air Ambulance's Trek 24 (EAAA). The participants trekked 24 miles to fundraise for this organization. So far, they have raised ￡850.

The EAAA operates without regular government funding, depending entirely on community support. With crews responding to an average of 8 missions daily across two bases, each costing approximately ￡3,750, they strive to reach any location in the region within 25 minutes, recognizing the critical importance of timely intervention for patients in medical emergencies.

Participants included, Lou Rose, Customer Sales Support Specialist, Symon Rose, Business Applications Manager, Austen Gilbert, Design Engineer, Philip Cuddehay, Electrical Design Engineer, James Crowther, Senior Material Logistics Coordinator, and Michelle Taft, Assistant Management Accountant. Every participant played a vital role, exemplifying our commitment to community impact. Join us in celebrating their collective dedication and impact!
