We are 20 – Thank You

In 2021, Wales Air Ambulance marks its 20th anniversary. We have reached this milestone thanks to you, the people of Wales.

To our supporters and volunteers – past and present. You’ve always answered our calls to donate funds and share your time. Thanks to you, we have one of the largest and most medically advanced air ambulance operations in Europe, running 24/7. Thank you.

To our staff, Trustees, medics, pilots and allocators – past and present. Your passion and determination is the strong foundation upon which Wales Air Ambulance has been built. Thank you.

Since its inception, your Charity has undertaken nearly 38,000 missions. To keep the helicopters in the air 24/7, we need to raise £8 million every year.

This is your Charity and you now have a unique service that stands out above the rest – so, thank you. 

It’s because of you that we’re able to service Wales, and save lives.
