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 Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk, 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 programmes and undertaking clinical research too. We rely almost entirely on public donations to do our work and don’t receive regular government funding.
Fuelled by supporter donations, we partner the ambulance service across the most serious of incidents including road traffic collisions, cardiac arrests and other medical emergencies.
Together with our supporters, we will reach the highest possible standards of excellence and pioneer advances in out-of-hospital critical care to measurably improve patient outcomes across East Anglia.
We’re registered with the Fundraising Regulator, and we’re committed to following their Code of Fundraising Practice to ensure our fundraising is legal, open, honest, and respectful. This policy covers all fundraising activity undertaken by our staff and volunteers.
We work with the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust and a number of other charities. As a medical charity we are governed by a board of non-executive trustees and regulated by the Care Quality Commission. We were rated Outstanding in the most recent inspection.
Every milestone, every mission, every person we’ve helped has been possible because of your incredible donations and support. Here’s to the people you’ve saved, the many thousands of lives you’ve touched and the story you’ve written.
