About Children’s Air Ambulance
The Children’s Air Ambulance is there for any newborn baby or child in need of getting to expert medical treatment fast. It will also bring the equipment and specialist teams to the patient if they are too sick to move or travel. Every second counts when emergencies occur, and helicopter journeys take a quarter of the time it takes on the road.
Established in 2012, the Children’s Air Ambulance began with one helicopter, but over the last few years it has raised funds to increase its fleet to enable them to be more reactive to cover even more of the country and help even more people at any given time. In 2018, it invested in two brand new aircraft fully kitted out with technical equipment and extra seating for family and an expert clinician to travel on board.
It has flown over 200 missions to date, and want to do more. For every child it is able to reach, there is one that it cannot. Donations are vital to this charity as funds keep them flying, maintain its equipment, and ultimately save children’s lives.
Getting Involved with Children’s Air Ambulance
Fundraising
For the younger fundraisers out there, they should consider joining #TheCrew, a fundraising club made for children by children. By joining up, children will receive support and guidance throughout its fundraising campaigns and can earn silver or gold status as members which brings rewards every time you step up a level. They’ll also learn and develop skills such as budgeting and planning; organisational skills; and interpersonal skills. For more information and where to sign up, check out the The Crew section of its website.
Volunteering
Volunteering in the office during your free time is extremely valuable to any charity, even more so with Children’s Air Ambulance as every pound spent on administrative work is one pound unspent on petrol and equipment to save lives. When volunteering in the office, you can help with manning the phones, banking donations and thanking supporters, sending out fundraising materials to name a few.
