Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance - our new charity partner for 2026/27

We are throwing our support behind Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance - by naming the charity as our official good cause for 2026 and 2027.

We will spend the next two years raising funds and awareness to help the charity keep its life-saving service operational.

Since March 2000 Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance has responded to thousands of missions - currently responding to around eight missions every day. Its team provides life-saving, pre-hospital critical care to those in urgent need across the two counties.

“This is a vital part of our local community, and the charity relies on donations from those living and working here,” said Morebus general manager, Richard Wade.

“Our corporate charity is voted for by the Morebus team. Some of my colleagues have benefited or will benefit directly from the support the air ambulance provides, so we are delighted to be backing this very worthy cause, and raising as much money as possible over the coming years.”

Erika Singh, Corporate Partnerships lead for Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance added: “Since March 2000, we have been responding to emergencies across the region, delivering advanced medical care to patients wherever they are. Our team’s specialist skills, advanced equipment, and rapid response can often make the difference between life and death.

“The care we provide is only made possible because of the generosity of the public - with annual operational costs of over £10 million, every mission is funded by donations. That’s why we are delighted to have been selected by Morebus as their charity partner for the next two years. We can’t thank them enough and are really looking forward to working together to raise vital funds and increase awareness of our life-saving work.”

We have a busy two years ahead and will also be promoting the charity on-board and on the rear of one of our buses.

“Hopefully, the messages will be seen by thousands traveling across the region - and this will help increase awareness for this very worthy cause,” added Richard Wade.
