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.

Frequently Ask Questions
Is there a sign up fee and a minimum fundraising target?
There is no sign-up fee to take part but we do ask that each student makes a suggested donation of £1 to take part. The School can either use the fundraising platform provided or collect donations in school to send in to us at the end of the event.
When should we host our Big Wear Yellow Day?
Its been a loooooooong slog making it through Winter so we’re inviting you to add a splash of colour at any time in the run up to the Easter Holdays, to hold your day when it best suits you.
We’re unable to host a Big Wear it Yellow Day, is there anything else we can do?
You bet! There are loads of activities you can do to raise funds for our lifesaving services. From bake sales, quizzes, sponsored events or school discos; the choice really is yours. Need more inspiration? Get in touch with a member of our team.
How do I get in touch with further questions?
The Team are happy to help. Please just email schools@theairambulanceservice.org.uk
Want to collect your money and send it in to us rather than paying in online?
That's absolutely fine! Please just email schools@theairambulanceservice.org.uk to let us know your plans and we'll let you know what to to.
