Charity: Air Ambulances UK

Air Ambulances UK (AAUK) is the national charity supporting the lifesaving work of the UK's air ambulance, enabling them to save even more lives every day.  Air ambulance crews bring the Emergency Department to patients who have suffered a life threatening or life changing trauma or medical emergency; providing advanced critical care to save lives.  On average an air ambulance can reach someone in urgent need within 15 minutes.  Anyone, anywhere in the UK can become a patient at anytime.  Air Ambulance charities are collectively dispatched to over 100 lifesaving missions each day across the UK; each mission is funded almost entirely by the generosity of local communities.  AAUK raises national funds to invest in the air ambulance community and acts as the one voice on issues of national significance.  Our vision is that together we will ensure the best possible chance of survival and patient outcome for everyone in need of lifesaving prehospital care.  We do this by supporting, championing and representing the invaluable work of the air ambulance community at a national level.
