National Air Ambulance Week – Do you have two hours to spare?

National Air Ambulance week is fast approaching on the 9th - 15th of September. Do you have two hours to spare? We have lots of opportunities to shout about the life-saving work our air ambulance does.

What is National Air Ambulance Week?

National Air Ambulance Week is a chance for all of the member charities of the Association of Air Ambulances to get together to celebrate and promote the work we do, all made possible by our incredible local communities. This year, we are asking our supporters to come together during 9th – 15th September to help raise awareness and funds for our charity!

How to get involved:

We have lots of collection bucket volunteering opportunities that we need your help with! Collections are a very simple way to raise valuable funds and a couple of hours of your time can make a huge difference! All you have to do is stand with a bucket, smile, have a chat and watch the coins come your way! It’s a great opportunity to meet lots of new people, including other volunteers, and to help us raise vital funds. Why not bring a friend along?

If you can save a date in your calendar and help just once, twice or all week then please do let us know! You can find our confirmed bucket collection dates for National Air Ambulance Week below.
