Avery Healthcare Transforms Retired Tech into Lifesaving Support with Donation to The Air Ambulance Service
Avery Healthcare has donated over 400 pieces of obsolete IT equipment to The Air Ambulance Service (TAAS), helping turn unused technology into essential funds that will support the charity’s lifesaving missions.
The generous donation totals 435 items, including 134 laptops, 90 mobile phones, and various other computer accessories, all of which will be resold or responsibly recycled.
This initiative not only extends the life of the equipment but also ensures it is processed in an environmentally sustainable way.
Proceeds from the sale or recycling of the items will help fund the charity’s lifesaving missions, crew training, and the purchase of essential medical equipment.
Avery Healthcare’s donation also demonstrates the company’s commitment to sustainability by reducing electronic waste and giving the equipment a second life.
James Revell, IT Manager at Avery Healthcare, said, “We’re proud that our donation of retired IT equipment not only helps The Air Ambulance Service fund its vital operations but also supports sustainability by reducing waste. This is a great example of how businesses can give back while making a positive environmental impact.”
TAAS includes the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance (WNAA), the Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance (DLRAA) and the Children’s Air Ambulance (TCAA).
The WNAA and DLRAA crews provide pre-hospital critical care at a variety of incidents across the five counties and further afield. TCAA provide lifesaving transfers for critically ill babies and children across the UK.
With the support of donations like this one, the charity is able to maintain its fleet of helicopters and ensure its crews are fully equipped to respond 24/7, 365 days a year.
Sam Frost, IT Asset Reuse Manager for the charity said, “We would like to say a big thank you to Avery Healthcare for their continued donations to help raise vital funds to support our charity’s lifesaving missions.”
“With donations just like this they have helped to reduce the amount of equipment that ends up in landfill while keeping our helicopters flying,” she added.
Avery Healthcare, headquartered in Northampton, operates over 100 care homes across the UK and four independent retirement communities under the Hawthorns brand.
Avery Healthcare is also celebrating its continued recognition as one of the Top 20 Large Care Home Groups in the UK, following its success at the 2025 Carehome.co.uk Awards.
This partnership demonstrates the far-reaching impact of responsible reuse, showing how businesses can help reduce electronic waste while funding lifesaving care and promoting environmental sustainability.
