ABOUT US
Our vision is clear. To ensure children grow into adults, for adults to live longer and for families to stay together, as bereavement through trauma becomes rare.
Our charity does not receive any government funding and relies entirely on voluntary donations and support from our communities.
Started in 2003, Your Local Air Ambulance now serves a total of five counties: Warwickshire & Northamptonshire, and Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland.
Deeply rooted in the communities it serves, YLAA relies on local support and pride. It’s often first on the scene, bringing clinical excellence and compassion when seconds matter most.
The National Children’s Air Ambulance is a national service dedicated to transferring critically ill babies and children between hospitals. Working closely with NHS partners, it ensures specialist care is accessible wherever it’s needed. NCAA is defined by its safety, expertise, and the hope it brings to families during their most critical moments.
