We are East Anglian Air Ambulance. A charity providing advanced critical care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to the most seriously ill and injured people in Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Bedfordshire and Norfolk, by air and road. We care deeply about the work we do and the people we help.
And we do more than you might think; providing aftercare, community lifesaving training and undertaking clinical research too. We rely almost entirely on public donations to do our work and don’t receive regular government funding.
We’re not just a faster way to get to hospital. When every second counts, we bring the expert care, specialist knowledge and lifesaving equipment normally only found in a specialist emergency department to the scene, whenever and wherever it is needed.
It takes a team to help save a life. from fundraisers to flying offers, it takes a whole crew to keep East Anglian Air Ambulance ready to respond, and that includes you.
Every year in the East of England, around 12,000 people suffer a cardiac arrest. That’s more than 30 people every single day - 30 lives suddenly turned upside down, and moments when every second counts. It’s a stark reminder of just how important fast, expert care and your support really is.
If someone’s badly hurt in a road accident, we’re ready to bring lifesaving equipment and care right to them. Every time we attend, it’s thanks to supporters like you who make our callouts possible.
Imagine facing a sudden medical emergency – a stroke, a seizure, or a serious head injury. These kinds of emergencies can happen anywhere, at any time, and they need expert care fast. That’s where our team, and your donations, come in.
We deliver advanced critical care at the scene and on the way to hospital, care that can make the difference between life and death.
We work alongside the NHS, but we are a charity and do not receive regular government funding.
Every day. Crews respond to thousands of critical care emergencies each year, averaging six patients every day.
Each mission costs around £4,250 to deliver. As a charity, this lifesaving service depends on public support.
We bring specialist doctors, advanced equipment and treatments normally found in a hospital directly to the patient, as fast as possible.
