Three Northern Ireland businesses have raised £16,000 in the first half of 2026 for Air Ambulance NI, enough to fund life-saving missions for three critically ill patients across the region.
JMK Solicitors, CRASH Services and Granite Exchange joined forces to support the charity through a packed programme of fundraising events and staff-led initiatives. The Air Ambulance is often called to emergencies where every second counts, bringing critical care directly to patients when it matters most.
In line with our commitment to charity, JMK Solicitors, CRASH Services, and Granite Exchange have spent the first half of 2026 fundraising for Air Ambulance NI. Our record-breaking turnout at the Belfast City Marathon led the way, complemented by participation in Derry City Airport 5K runway run, a competitive Dragon Boat Race, and a highly successful office raffle.
Alongside these events, employees contribute through regular monthly salary donations, and for every download of the CRASH & JMK app, the companies donate £1 offering customers and clients an easy way to support the vital work of the Air Ambulance crew.
Looking ahead, we are maintaining our momentum with a series of upcoming initiatives, including the Belfast City Airport 5K runway run, team-led events, and hosted breakfast mornings.
A Shared Commitment to Life-Saving Care
Louise Mone, Managing Director at JMK Solicitors, said: “Air Ambulance NI provides a critical, life-saving service that is essential for the community in Northern Ireland. We are incredibly proud of our team’s dedication over the past six months from marathon running to dragon boat racing and look forward to continuing our support for the charity throughout the remainder of the year.”
Michelle Murphy, Operations Director at CRASH Services, commented: “At CRASH Services, we believe in giving back, and supporting Air Ambulance NI is a mission that unites our teams across all locations. It is rewarding to see our staff’s collective efforts translate into support for a charity that makes such a tangible difference to people in their most vulnerable moments. This is a cause very close to my heart; the Air Ambulance team saved my brother’s life following an accident last August, so I know personally just how vital the impact they make truly is.”
Colleen O’Hare Managing Director from Granite Exchange added: “We are delighted to play our part in this partnership. Knowing that our fundraising efforts contribute to the rapid response and medical care provided by the Air Ambulance team motivates us to keep pushing towards our annual target.”
Kerry Anderson, Head of Fundraising at Air Ambulance NI, expressed her appreciation: “We are so grateful for the continued support from JMK Solicitors, CRASH Services, and Granite Exchange. As a charity, we rely heavily on the support of the public and local businesses like these. This £16,000 will have a lasting impact, fully funding the service to reach 3 future patients anywhere in Northern Ireland. We thank all the staff for their incredible energy and commitment over the past six months.”
