Help Us Save Lives
Over the past 20 years, The Air Ambulance Service (TAAS) has attended over 50,000 missions.
We fly two local air ambulance services – Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance (WNAA) and the Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance (DLRAA). Our critical care paramedics, doctors and pilots attend an average of ten rescue missions a day and can be on the ground within minutes, delivering lifesaving care to give patients the very best chance of survival and recovery.
We receive no government or National Lottery funding for our lifesaving missions and rely entirely on voluntary donations to raise the £2,300 needed for every mission.
Support our work by taking on a fundraising challenge today and become our latest lifesaver.

About Prestwold Hall
The magnificent Prestwold Hall was largely remodelled in 1843 by William Burn and has been the home of the Packe family for 350 years. Prestwold Hall is still a privately-owned house lived in by a descendant of Sir Christopher Packe and is not open to the general public.
