Help Us Save Lives
Over the past 10 years, the Children’s Air Ambulance (TCAA) has attended over 1000 missions.
The national service is changing the face of paediatric and neonatal care and works alongside 11 clinical partner teams across the UK providing a high-speed transfer service for critically ill babies and children - flying them from local hospitals to specialist paediatric and neonatal treatment centres. Our helicopters travel four times faster than a land ambulance, minimising travel risk for our young patients.
We receive no government or National Lottery funding for our lifesaving missions and rely entirely on voluntary donations to raise the £3,600 needed for every vital mission.
Support our work by taking on a fundraising challenge today and become our latest lifesaver.
