The charity’s vision is clear – to ensure children grow into adults, for adults to live longer and for families to stay together, as bereavement through trauma becomes rare.

Since starting our services in 2003, we now fly two local air ambulances services, serving a total of five counties.
- Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance (WNAA)
- Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance (DLRAA)
Our critical care paramedics, doctors and pilots attend an average of ten rescue missions a day and within minutes, they can be on the ground delivering lifesaving care at road traffic collisions, sports events, and industrial accidents or for medical emergencies such as cardiac arrest, stroke or accidents in the home.
The air ambulance gives people the very best chance of survival and recovery. Our helicopter can fly at 185mph and carries the very latest lifesaving equipment including blood products, ultrasound equipment, medical consumables, critical care medication and more.
Our air ambulance team is supported by Critical Care Cars, which provide valuable backup for incidents close to the helicopter base or when the weather makes it too dangerous to fly. It also enables our doctors and critical care paramedics to be run a night car service so that they are available to reach those in need 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
We receive no funding from the government or National Lottery for our daily missions and we rely entirely on donations to raise the £1,700 we need for each vital rescue missions, to provide lifesaving pre-hospital care to patients like Rosie.
Your local air ambulance is at a very exciting chapter in its history. For 20 years WNAA has been able to provide pre-hospital critical care to those in their moment of need, and DLRAA for 15 years. This year, the charity would have undertaken over 50,000 missions, meaning over 50,000 lives touched by our vital service and critical care crews. The charity’s vision is still clear – to ensure children grow into adults, for adults to live longer and for families to stay together, as bereavement through trauma becomes rare.
