Parker Meggitt has donated more than £7,000 to a charity.

The company, which designs and manufactures aircraft systems and components, presented a cheque for £7,802.75 to the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance charity.

The donation was made by the Parker Foundation, a charitable organisation founded by the late Sir Peter Parker.

The foundation is associated with Parker Hannifin Corporation, a global leader in motion and control technologies.

The charity was chosen by employees at both the Fareham and Alton sites, reflecting the team's commitment to supporting vital local services and making a positive impact in the community.

Paul Spencer, site lead, and Daryl Hansford, supply chain manager at Parker Meggitt’s site in Fareham, presented the cheque.

The donation will help the charity continue to provide its life-saving service across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
