WHY FUNDRAISE FOR NATIONAL CHILDREN’S AIR AMBULANCE?

Help support lifesaving missions

Air ambulances reach patients much faster than ground transport, especially in remote areas. That speed can be the difference between life and death, or between full recovery and long-term disability. Your support helps ensure our critical care crews are always ready to respond when every second counts.

A unique national paediatric transfer service

Every National Children’s Air Ambulance mission is crewed by skilled crew supporting our clinical partner teams across the UK. With your help, we take critically ill babies and children to the care they need, wherever that is.

We rely on public support

We are a vital emergency service, yet receive no direct government funding. We rely almost entirely on the generosity of people like you. Your donations keep our helicopters flying, our critical care cars running, and our crews delivering life-saving treatment every single day, when and where it’s needed most.

HELICOPTER HEROES

SCHOOL CHARITY EVENT FOR ALL AGES

Fundraising is fun, inclusive, and a great way for pupils of all ages and abilities to get involved. School charity events encourage teamwork, creativity, and a strong sense of giving back to the community.

From nursery to secondary school, there are endless ways to raise vital funds — whether it’s a crazy hair day, Wear It Yellow, or a sponsored silence. Whatever you choose, there’s something for everyone to make a difference and support a great cause.
