London’s Air Ambulance Charity

We are a charity that delivers an advanced trauma team to London’s most critically injured patients. Using a helicopter from 08:00 to sunset and rapid response cars at night or in adverse weather situations, London’s Air Ambulance brings the hospital to the patient when time is critical.

Your new helicopters are here!

London, thanks to your support we have reached our £15 million appeal target to replace our helicopters and are delighted that they are now in service, meaning we can continue saving lives across London, every day.

Our helicopters bring advanced hospital-level care to London’s most critically injured – thank you for making sure that we can be there for anyone who needs us, when they need us. 

However we are a charity and we still need you. It costs £17 million to deliver our service every year. Help keep us flying, donate today so we can carry on saving lives across London.
