What you'll get for taking part
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.
