25 Years Every life counts, on you
On 6 September 2000, a new charity was formed. East Anglian Air Ambulance had one mission: to save lives across East Anglia. 25 years later, we’ve reached tens of thousands of people delivering emergency care when every second counts.
We still need your support
This milestone is more than a moment to pause and reflect, it’s a chance to act. Behind every statistic is a real person, a real family – a life changed a life saved, thanks to people like you.
Today, we attend an average of six people every single day where your support makes all the difference.
As we reflect on how far we’ve come, we’re also looking ahead. The need for life-saving care hasn’t stopped, and neither can we.
Will you support us so we can keep flying, keep responding, and keep saving lives, 24/7?
