Thomson Snell & Passmore Starts New Charity Partnership With Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex (KSS) And Baby Umbrella

Law firm Thomson Snell & Passmore has selected two new charities to partner with over the next two years – Baby Umbrella and Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex (KSS)

KSS is an air ambulance charity with a team of skilled, sector-leading experts responding to over 3,100 incidents annually across Kent, Surrey and Sussex. Its helicopters are flying emergency rooms, bringing specialised doctors, paramedics and treatment to those who need it most, 24/7, 365 days a year.

Baby Umbrella is an award-winning small charity supporting over 1,000 families each year across West Kent. It offers skilled and compassionate support in the early months and years of parenthood – including breastfeeding, bottle feeding, sleep, mental wellbeing and making social connections. Its services build safety, confidence and connection from the first moments when a baby arrives, building resilience for the years ahead.

The charities were selected following an employee vote, and follow on from previous charity partnerships with Dandelion Time, Demelza and The Children’s Respite Trust.

Working together, Thomson Snell & Passmore will support key events, as well as take part in fund raising and volunteering opportunities for both Baby Umbrella and KSS.

Commenting on the partnerships, Thomson Snell & Passmore Senior Partner Richard Ellard says:
“Although very different, these charities do such important work. Helping those who live and work in our communities is central to the firm’s ethos and we are looking forward to supporting both charities over the next two years.”

Rebecca Ussher, Corporate Partnerships Manager for KSS adds:
“We are absolutely delighted to be have been chosen as one of the charity partners for this valuable two year partnership and excited to build a strong meaningful relationship, helping us to save lives and giving staff the opportunity to be an important part of what we do.”

Laura Shtaingos, Baby Umbrella Co-Founder says:
“We’re thrilled to have been selected as a charity partner for Thomson, Snell & Passmore, a legal firm right in the heart of our Tunbridge Wells community. This partnership beautifully illustrates how the whole local community can come together to support our most vulnerable members and transform their futures.”
