Face-to-face Covid-19 update
Face-to-face Fundraising Status: Active
Due to cancelled fundraising events and our Face-to-face Fundraising being suspended for over 50% of 2020 it is estimating that we will lose £5 million in income over the next two to three years due to Covid-19 restrictions, the equivalent of 2,440 missions and every one of those could save a life.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, London’s Air Ambulance Charity has supported the NHS and remained operational 24/7 for every one of the 10 million people who live, work and travel in London every day. It costs around £11 million each year to deliver the service; which is primarily funded by public donations (such as online donations and our supporters who sign up via Face-to-face Fundraising), providing London with an advanced trauma team 365 days a year.
In line with Government guidance, we resumed Face to Face fundraising on 12th April 2021.
All our fundraising activities are carried out in-line with the Code of Fundraising Practice and Government Guidance on coronavirus including working safely during coronavirus and the Government’s roadmap out of lockdown.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, London’s Air Ambulance Charity has worked closely with our Face-to-face Fundraising Agencies to ensure all risk assessments, policies and training have consistently placed Fundraiser, Supporter, and the Public’s health as being of paramount importance, and we will continue to do so during all future Face-to-face Fundraising activities.
For more information please read our Face-to-face Fundraising risk assessment, See our Covid-19 update or contact our Supporter Care team by emailing [email protected] or phoning 0203 023 3319.
Where are our Face to Face Fundraisers?
London’s Air Ambulance Charity fundraisers work within the M25 area and conduct a mix of Door to Door and Private Site fundraising. A Private Site simply means the fundraising takes place in a supermarket, a shopping centre, a garden centre or similar.
London’s Air Ambulance Charity fundraisers can be found in these locations for the current week. Please click here to see where we were fundraising last week.

Frequently asked questions about our face to face fundraising
Does London's Air Ambulance Charity carry out face to face fundraising?
We carry out face to face fundraising in privates sites, such as shopping centres, and also have fundraisers who go door to door. We encourage people to become regular supporters either by playing our weekly lottery, or by signing up to a monthly donation.

We ensure that each agency is carefully trained and monitored so that they are the best possible ambassadors for us.
