🌟 Empowering Our Community with Life-Saving Skills! 🚁❤️ At Lewis Brownlee Chartered Accountants, we’re proud to go beyond numbers and support our community in meaningful ways. That's why, last week, we were proud to host a life-saving skills workshop at The Queens Hotel, Southsea, in collaboration with the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance. The event was not only a fantastic team-building experience but also a crucial opportunity to learn CPR and defibrillator training - skills that could one day save lives. We were inspired by the dedication of the Air Ambulance team, who provided an immersive insight into their life-saving missions (as well as an awe-inspiring and thrilling helicopter flight simulator! 🚁) In addition to our own team, we were delighted to invite staff from The Queens Hotel to join in, helping to spread the reach and importance of these essential skills. 💪 And as just a week before the event, our team raised £575 to help fund a flight suit for the incredible paramedics and doctors of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance, it was amazing to see first hand the difference our efforts will make. So, a big Thank you to the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance and to our friends at The Queens Hotel for joining us in this incredible experience! And, to other companies looking for truly impactful team building experiences, we can not recommend doing something this valuable enough! Hope you enjoy the pictures! #CommunityFirst #LifeSavingSkills #CPRTraining #TeamBuilding #Hampshire #LewisBrownlee #HIOWAA #EmergencyServices #GivingBack
