Volunteer photographer
Volunteer photographers attend and photograph London Air Ambulance’s large-scale events, ranging from the London Marathon, our Helipad Abseil and Fundraising Gala. The photographs will then be used on our website, social media, newsletters and printed materials to report and promote our events.
All our events raise funds which will directly support the charity that delivers an advanced trauma team to critically injured people in London.

Volunteer Drivers and Co-Pilots
Are you looking to volunteer in a regular role which makes a vital contribution to our charity? If so, we need drivers and co-pilots who are able to help us on week days on a regular basis. Our drivers and co-pilots support us with distributing and collecting our fundraising pots as well as delivering items for events and fundraising activities.
Drivers will need a full driving licence and will be required to undertake a driving assessment. Co-pilots are not required to drive but accompany drivers to assist with collecting and changing pots, managing the pot lists and helping with directions.
Our cars are based at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel and drivers will deliver and collect across London.
