Air Ambulances UK

Supporting Air Ambulance Charities

Air Ambulances UK (AAUK) is the national charity supporting the lifesaving work of the UK’s air ambulance charities, enabling them to save even more lives every day.

Air ambulance crews bring the Emergency Department to patients who have suffered a life threatening or life changing trauma or medical emergency; providing advanced critical care to save lives.

On average an air ambulance can reach someone in urgent need within 15 minutes. Anyone, anywhere in the UK can become a patient at any time. Air ambulance charities are collectively dispatched to over 100 lifesaving missions each day across the UK; each mission is funded almost entirely by the generosity of local communities.

Air Ambulances are delighted that Association President Karen has chosen us as her Charity for the year 2022-2023. Karen’s fundraising page link is here: https://airambulancesuk.enthuse.com/cf/inner-wheel-air-ambulances-uk-fundraising
