The National Children’s Air Ambulance (NCAA) will be opening a new boutique store in Buckingham to help raise vital funds to support their lifesaving missions.
The new store will open on Friday 04 September 2026 in Ilkeston, located just outside Buckingham town centre.
The NCAA operates across England, Scotland and Wales, providing specialist transfers for critically ill babies and children. Working alongside eleven NHS paediatric teams, combining their specialist expertise with the charity’s aircraft to safely transfer young patients to the care they need.
The charity receives no funding from the government or National Lottery and relies entirely on donations to raise the much-needed funds for each mission. The support from the local community keeps its helicopters flying, crew operational and together, helping to save more lives.
Each mission costs an average of £5,700 and funds raised in the charity’s new Buckingham store will go towards making even more missions possible.
Kevin Chappell, Retail Area Manager, said:
“We’re so pleased to be opening a new charity boutique store in Buckingham. We have a range of stores across the area, and we are excited to be joining the Buckingham community.”
“Please visit our store to grab a bargain, donate your pre-loved items and even chat about volunteering opportunities. Every visit or donation helps to keep our helicopters flying 24/7, 365 days a year,” he expressed.
Store address is 64 Well Street, Stratford Fields, Buckingham, MK18 1EN.
The Air Ambulance Service comprises of Your Local Air Ambulance bringing rapid emergency care and the National Children’s Air Ambulance, a unique hospital transfer service for critically ill children and babies across the UK. The charity has launched its ‘Big Bases Appeal’ to help fund the future of its lifesaving work across the region.
