Local Success Story: 3RS IT Solutions Names Children’s Air Ambulance as Its 2025/26 Charity of the Year

3RS IT Solutions, an IT consultancy based in Irthlingborough, has proudly announced the Children’s Air Ambulance as its chosen Charity of the Year for 2025/26. The decision follows an appeal made last December, inviting children’s charities across the region to apply for the partnership.

Company directors Steve and Leila Souch, parents to three boys with a daughter on the way, felt a strong personal connection to a cause that supports children. After carefully reviewing numerous applications, the team selected the Children’s Air Ambulance, citing its life-saving work for babies and children across the UK.

The 12-month collaboration begins on 1st March 2025 and includes a series of fundraising and volunteering efforts. These range from a survival challenge in June and conquering the Three Peaks in August, to running a Half Marathon in September. 3RS IT Solutions will also offer free IT and marketing support, volunteer at events, and donate £5 from every laptop sale. Altogether, the company aims to raise £10,000 for the charity over the coming year.

“3RS IT Solutions is proud to announce the Children's Air Ambulance as its official Charity of the Year for 2025/26,” says Leila Souch, Marketing Director. “When we had our son, Reuben, there were complications at birth. Recognising how critical urgent care is for children and knowing the charity relies solely on public funding really hit home for us. We want to do everything we can to help them continue their lifesaving work.”

“We are delighted to have been selected as 3RS’s Charity of the Year,” adds Robert Oram, Community Fundraising Executive for Children’s Air Ambulance (South). “Critically ill children require specialist care and time is often the difference between life and death. With each flight costing around £3,600, partnerships like these are invaluable.”

“At 3RS IT Solutions, we believe in using our resources to make a real difference,” concludes Steve Souch, Managing Director. “We’re proud to support the Children’s Air Ambulance and help keep this vital service operational.”
