Air Ambulance Week 2021

This week (September 6-12) is Air Ambulance Week. This is an opportunity to highlight the lifesaving service delivered by the Wales Air Ambulance.   

Throughout the week, we will share information about Wales Air Ambulance and hear from patients who have needed our service. On board our helicopters we have specialist consultants, critical care practitioners, helicopter transfer practitioners and pilots. Their skills and experience ensure we can deliver our vital services for the people of Wales.  

Every second counts, and every penny matters...

We are asking you to support us because 'every second counts’, and 'every penny matters', the themes behind this year's Air Ambulance Week.

Every year we need to raise £8 million. We receive no direct funding from the Government. You, the people of Wales, keep our helicopters flying. Without you, our charity would not exist. 

This is also our 20th Anniversary year. Thanks to you, we have attended nearly 40,000 missions since 1 March 2001.

Your continued support saves the lives of Wales’ critically ill or injured when they are most in need.  

Air Ambulance Week is an opportunity for us to say thank you for keeping us in the air, and for you to learn more about your charity and how you can support us:
