Yorkshire Air Ambulance flew nearly 1,900 life-saving missions last year in England’s largest county

The Charity needs to raise £12,000 every day to keep both air ambulances in the air and helping to save lives. We do not receive any government funding and rely entirely on the generosity of the public and supporters. How your fundraising can help save lives in Yorkshire…

£2,400 FUNDS ONE MISSION Last year the YAA were called out to an average of five 999 calls each day to people with serious and life-threatening injuries

£500 FUNDS ONE HOUR The one hour period following serious trauma where prompt medical care can potentially save lives and improve long-term outcomes for the patient.

£170 FUNDS 20 MINUTES OF FLYING

The approximate flight time needed to reach around 90% of Yorkshire’s population

£100 FUNDS 12 MINUTES FLIGHT TIME The average flight time for each of the air ambulance helicopters to reach an incident after the 999 call is received

£17 FUNDS 2 MINUTES OF CRITICAL DISPATCH TIME The average time for our medics to activate on a mission and get airborne.

Even those vital 2 minutes can potentially save a life.
