Our strategy
Hope Across London
Our vision is to bring hope to every one of our patients across London, when they need us most, where they need us most. Our mission is to use everything we know, our specialist skills and unmatched experience to save lives and ensure the best outcomes for every one of our patients and their families. Our new 15 year strategy sets out our ambitious aims to make sure we can achieve this.
That’s because traumatic injury is the biggest killer of people under the age of 40 in the UK and every day in London there are six people who need our help.
Whatever the cause of your injury, we’re the only ones who can get to you in time to make a difference. We perform hospital-level surgery at the scene, bringing hope that we can save a life and change the outcome for you, your family and your loved ones.
Thanks to your support, wherever and whenever we’re needed, we’ll be there via helicopter or rapid response car. We’re here for London and here for you, today, tomorrow and always.

Financial Metrics
- For every £1 we spent on raising funds in 24/25, we generated £3 in income
- For every pound of spending in 24/25, 49p* was spent delivering our service and 51p went towards fundraising. To ensure our long term sustainability as a charity we are aiming to stabilise our individual giving programme (including lottery) which currently provides just over 50% of our income. This requires greater up front investment
- During 24/25, our Board of Trustees made the decision to hold a minimum of nine months of budgeted unrestricted costs in our free reserves. This policy reflects our commitments to:
- Financial resilience in the face of any external market challenges that may affect our ability to fundraise and;
- Invest in the areas of clinical, operational and research to enable the realisation of our 15 year strategy.
*The costs of the clinical provision are excluded as they are not included in our accounts.
