Yorkshire Air Ambulance
Our air ambulance helicopters fly seven days a week, 365 days a year. Together, they form a highly skilled team that responds to those in urgent need or emergency care, starting their specialised treatment at the scene of an incident before they are transported to an appropriate major trauma centre or another hospital for further medical care.
A team of fabulous fundraisers and office staff work to ensure that our Charity continues to be here for the people of Yorkshire and is backed up by our wonderful family of volunteers, without whom the work we do would not be possible.
