ABOUT OUR APPEAL

For more than two decades, The Air Ambulance Service has been at the heart of lifesaving emergency response - operating two specialist helicopter services that make a difference every single day.

Your Local Air Ambulance service brings advanced critical care to people in life-threatening and life-changing emergencies across Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Rutland, while the National Children’s Air Ambulance provides the UK’s only dedicated helicopter transfer service for critically ill babies and children.
