Saving Lives of Those in Peril on the Sea…

Hamble Independent Lifeboat saves lives in the busy waters of the Solent and Southampton Water.

The two lifeboats, Harry Childs and John and Violet Hurrel, hold the proud record of being the fifth busiest in the UK, last year attending 125 calls by the UK Coastguard and saving 17 lives.

Our Trustees were delighted to help out with a grant of £3,400 to enable them to purchase 10 new Gecko Safety Helmets for their 27 active crew and many members of the public who they assist each year.

“A massive thanks to you and your fellow Trustees for agreeing to award Hamble Lifeboat this grant. PPE is vital for the safety of our crew members and safety helmets are part of that requirement. We save lives year on year and rely 100% on fund raising to continue to operate the service. Without the generous support of businesses like yourselves – and our volunteers – this service would not be able to continue. We are humbled and grateful” – Tim Adams, Bosun

Mobility for MS Sufferers – and their carers too – at MS Therapy Centre

Our donation of £3,173 helped MS Therapy Centre (NW) purchase a new Raizer II Chair. The Raizer II emergency lifting chair helps fallen people get back on their feet with ease. And, as it only needs one person to work it, the specialist chair helps the carers at the Centre too.

“People like you at the Axis Foundation mean we can provide the best for all our members and give them peace of mind. If someone should fall in our centre we have the equipment to safely get them up. Thank you Axis Foundation for the donation. It means the world to all of us here at the MS Therapy Centre (NW)” –  Sean Halsall Fundraiser

More about our donation

Lockdowns as a result of the Pandemic mean that MS Therapy Centre members have not been active for the past 12 months. Some have become physically unstable. Our donation will provide immediate and long term  support to members particularly after a fall – and carers too.

Established in 2004, the MS Therapy Centre (NW) provides a wide range of therapies and services in a caring and supporting environment to enrich the lives of their 400 members and to limit the effects of MS on sufferers.
