“Help us bring hope to more patients and their families”
Traumatic injury is the biggest killer of people under the age of 40 in the UK. On average, every day in London there are six people who need our help.
From road traffic accidents to assaults, falls from height to traumatic cardiac arrests, we’re the only ones who can get to you in time to make a difference. Once on scene, we perform hospital-level surgery, using our specialised skills and unmatched experience to provide hope for you, your family and your loved ones.
Our world-leading expertise means our influence on practice and research is global and the hope we can give patients is amplified elsewhere.
How your support can help
To continue delivering London’s only air ambulance service and pushing the boundaries of pre-hospital care, we need to raise approximately £20 million each year for the next five years. We’ are a charity and 95% of our income is reliant on public support, including from trusts and foundations.
We understand that you may wish to support a specific area of our work and will work together with you to meet your objectives – whether that’s funding vital medical equipment, the development of ground-breaking treatments or the delivery of support services for our patients and bereaved families after the unthinkable happens.

Your support can make a real difference
Fewer than one in 10 patients survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. With thanks to the support of charitable trusts and foundations, we launched a pioneering cardiac arrest team (ECAT) to help improve outcomes for this patient group. In a UK first, the team have been delivering ECMO - a type of heart and lung bypass - on the streets of London. This intervention has been shown to significantly improve survival to over 40% if it’s delivered within 60 minutes of a patient collapsing. We’re uniquely placed to bring ECMO to a patient’s side, wherever they might be in London, and have a track record of pioneering new procedures pre-hospital to save more lives. It was with thanks to the support of Barts Charity, Cranbrook Foundation, the Geoff and Fiona Squire Foundation and Jude Morris Innovation and Development Fund that we could launch this pioneering new service. Their support is now paving the way for an expanded ECAT in 2026 and the introduction of a suite of advanced interventions to help improve survival in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
