Supporting Hampshire and Isle of White Air Ambulance

At Axis, we support Hampshire and Isle of White Air Ambulance (HIWAA) with donations. For each check a trade review or survey response we receive, we donate £1 to HIWAA. We believe this is an important charity as they help so many people, and anyone may need their service at some point.

The helicopter is based in Thruxton, and is usually airborne within 4 minutes of receiving an emergency call, and can be in most locations in Hampshire within 15 minutes. So far this year, Hampshire Air Ambulance have flown 527 missions.


HIWAA receive no government funding, and rely entirely on donations to fund their life saving missions. At Axis, we have pledged to donate at least £1,000 over the course of three years.

Twitter Tips Roundup

Over the past few weeks we have been posting tips to twitter on how to keep your home safe. You can see a list of the tips below. For more, please follow us on twitter, we are @AxisFireSecure.


  • Don’t leave windows open when you are out or in another room
  • Don’t leave valuables such as laptops within sight of windows
  • Don’t leave tools etc outside your home or in the garden
  • Run lights on timer switches when you are on holiday so the lights come on at night to make it appear someone’s home
  • If your mail can be seen through a window in the door, ask someone to move this for you while you are on holiday so it looks like the property is occupied
  • Lock away important documents like deeds, wills etc in a safe to avoid identity theft
  • Don’t give too much away on social media, and make sure only trusted people can view what you’re saying.
  • If you’re not taking your car on holiday, ask someone you trust to move it occasional to make your home look occupied.
