Your donation will help save lives
Every donation to the Big Bases Appeal is helping to turn plans into reality and secure the future of lifesaving air ambulance care.
Thanks to the support of people like you, we are moving forward with the development of new, purpose-built air ambulance bases. These bases will give our crews the facilities they need to respond faster, train more effectively, and remain operational around the clock, ensuring patients receive the highest level of critical care when seconds matter most.
Your generosity is contributing to more than bricks and mortar. It is helping create safe, modern environments where helicopters can be mission-ready, specialist teams can prepare for complex emergencies, and services can be delivered sustainably for years to come. Every pound raised brings us closer to a base that protects response times, strengthens resilience, and supports both Your Local Air Ambulance and the National Children’s Air Ambulance.
We are committed to being open and transparent throughout this appeal. The total you see here reflects real progress made possible by our supporters, and we will continue to share updates as key milestones are reached and the build progresses.
