We Need Your Help
Christmas Appeal 2020
This Christmas, are you able to donate to help keep your local air ambulance flying?
Give what you can to help save lives
Donate TodayWe are launching our Christmas Appeal 2020. A gift today could help keep us flying into the New Year, it could help us treat more people in your local community. People like Katie.
In November 2016, dental nurse Katie was involved in a head on collision with a truck on an icy road. The sheer impact of the collision pushed the engine of her car back into her legs, leaving Katie with multiple serious injuries. Her extensive injuries included two broken femurs, a smashed left knee and foot, a collapsed lung, and a broken collar bone.
Within 20 minutes of the initial 999 call being made your local air ambulance arrived at the scene of the accident, near Melton Mowbray. The critical care crew gave Katie pain relief drugs and sedated her to make her more comfortable, interventions that paramedics on a land ambulance are unable to do.
It was crucial to get Katie to the nearest major trauma hospital as quickly as possible. She was flown to Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham in just 10 minutes.
This Christmas period, our critical care crews will continue to attend an average of 10 missions a day in your local community, providing lifesaving care to people like Katie. Your local air ambulance does not receive any government funding so every penny needed to fly our lifesaving missions comes from the kindness of supporters like you. A gift to our Christmas Appeal 2020, large or small, will help keep us flying.
Give What You Can
Every mission is critical. Your donation will help the air ambulance save lives. Donate today to keep us flying into the New Year.
