We provide lifesaving care when it matters most.
There’s more than one way to make a difference.
From one-off gifts to long-term support, every contribution helps us reach more people, faster—and keep doing so in the future.
WHERE WE COVER
Your Local Air Ambulance
Saving lives across the centre of England.
Since launching in 2003, we’ve taken off with two local air ambulance services:
-
Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance (WNAA)
-
Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance (DLRAA)
Together, they cover emergencies across our five counties. Every day, our critical care paramedics, doctors and pilots respond to around ten emergency missions.
But this doesn’t mean we won’t travel further afield. Emergencies have no boundaries – if we are the closest available service then we will be there.
In 2024 we attended emergencies across 17 different counties.
Together, we save more lives.
Every second. Every mission. Every mile.
Our helicopters fly at 185mph, packed with the latest lifesaving kit and crewed by critical care paramedics, doctors, and pilots trained to handle any situation.
But we’re not just in the air.
Our Critical Care Cars are a vital part of the fleet. They back up our helicopters for missions closer to base or when weather grounds the aircraft. They also run our night car service, keeping our teams ready to respond, 24/7, 365 days a year.
We don’t get a penny from the government or the National Lottery for our daily missions.
Each remission costs £2,300, and every pound comes from people like you.
Together, we save more lives.
National Children’s Air Ambulance
The National Children’s Air Ambulance is a UK-wide service, dedicated to transferring critically ill babies and children between hospitals. When specialist care is miles away, we bring it closer, fast.
Our helicopters are flying intensive care units. Purpose-built. Clinically equipped. Ready to go.
We work with 11 NHS paediatric retrieval teams across the country. They bring their expertise. We bring the aircraft. Together, we transfer young patients safely between hospitals.
If a child is too unwell to move, we fly the clinical team to them instead.
Moving critically ill babies and children between hospitals is never without risk. The longer they’re in transit, the greater the danger.
Our helicopters cut that time dramatically, flying around four times faster than a land ambulance. That speed helps reduce risk and gives young patients a better chance.
We don’t receive government or National Lottery funding.
Each mission costs around £5,500, and every penny comes from people like you.
Your support keeps us flying and gives families the chance to hope.
Together, we save more lives.
WHEN EVERY SECOND COUNTS, WE’RE THERE.
From country lanes to city stadiums, our crews respond fast to serious emergencies across the region.
Road traffic collisions. Cardiac arrests. Falls, strokes, sporting injuries, you name it. Our doctors, paramedics and pilots are trained to land where it matters and act fast. We don’t just arrive quickly; we bring high-level expertise and care with us.
Together, we save more lives.
