MORE CALL OUTS THAN EVER BEFORE

In 2023, we faced increased demand. Our crews responded to 3,293 emergencies, making it our busiest year on record.

Behind each number is a real person going through perhaps the most traumatic event of their lives; our crew doing everything in their power to give them the best chance of survival; and your generous donations which fund every lifesaving mission.

25 ways to support us

In 1999, our critical care service first took to the skies. Now, 25 years and nearly 35,000 call-outs later, we dedicate our 25th anniversary to our patients and their families, each of whom are at the heart of our story as a charity.

If you feel like giving us a boost this year, you might be surprised at all the ways you can get involved, from recycling your unwanted clothes to attending our Big Birthday Bash.
