Our team of highly skilled pilots, critical care practitioners and doctors are operational for 19 hours a day, 365 days a year; together they work tirelessly to save lives.
The service we provide is 95% funded by charitable giving; by people like you. Last year, we were tasked to 2,909 incidents, with each mission costing approximately £3,500.
