Letters from Father Christmas
It’s a small bit of Christmas magic, and a mighty way of helping us. Your letter will bring a smile to someone you love, while your donation supports our Cambridge Air Base Appeal, keeping our crews ready to fly whenever they’re needed.
In recognition of a donation of £15 or more, Father Christmas will send a personalised, wax-stamped letter to a child close to your heart. Filled with details only he could know, like their favourite activity and something they’re proud of, it will land on their doorstep in time for Christmas, along with an illustrated postcard to keep.

A busy December for everyone
Father Christmas is a busy man in December – presents to wrap, a sleigh to prep, and a very long list to check twice. Our crews know a thing or two about being busy come December too, responding to emergencies through the night when everyone else is tucked up in their beds.
We hope your letter from Father Christmas brings a little warmth to your home this festive season and reminds you of the difference you’re making for people across our region.
The final date for letter requests is 30 November. We’ll update you by email when your letter is on its way! Letters will be dispatched week commencing 14 December.
Thank you for your support and for spreading joy this Christmas.
Cambridge Air Base Appeal
Cambridge Airport is closing, and with it, the base our Cambridge crew call home. We need to raise £8.2 million to build a new Cambridge Air Base to secure lifesaving care for generations to come.
This is bigger than one building. It’s your community, protecting the people you love, and making sure the fastest, most advanced care is available when someone needs it. Without a base in Cambridgeshire, there is no East Anglian Air Ambulance crew, no helicopter, and no critical care in the centre of our region.
