Every day, our crew are called to help people facing the most traumatic moment of their lives. This Christmas will be no different. Emergencies don’t stop for the holidays, and neither do we – but we need you. Your donation could keep families together for Christmas.

Last December Thames Valley Air Ambulance were dispatched 272 times to deliver lifesaving care, including 19 incidents between Christmas Eve and Boxing Day.

Every call out this Christmas will cost more than £2,400. As an independent charity, we rely entirely on people like you to fund each lifesaving mission. There are people who will need us in the coming days, and we need your help to ensure we’ll be there for them. Time is running out.
