Yorkshire Air Ambulance
Yorkshire Air Ambulance is an independent charity providing a life saving rapid response emergency service to 5 million people across the whole of Yorkshire. The service is operational seven days a week, 365 days a year. Last year, the Charity were tasked to over 1,700 incidents, and treated 1,200 patients who required their services.
Why Yorkshire Air Ambulance
Yorkshire Air Ambulance currently operates two helicopters – one based at Nostell Air Support Unit, near Wakefield and the other at RAF Topcliffe, near Thirsk.
To keep both of Yorkshire’s Air Ambulances helicopters maintained and in the air, they need to raise £19,000 every single day. The generosity that they receive really is the life blood of the Charity.
The charity was set up back in October 2000 with one initial helicopter, and with the addition of the second air ambulance in October 2007 they now provide a platinum air ambulance service for the people of Yorkshire. The Charity also now rapidly dispatch their helicopters from their Dedicated Air Desk at Nostell. The swift medical interventions provided by their air ambulance crews have a major impact on a patient’s chance of survival and subsequent quality of life. Often, they make the difference between life and death.
