Thank you for visiting the home of the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance
We are so pleased that you have taken the time to visit our website.
We are proud to be able to provide an outstanding air ambulance emergency service. Our team of highly trained paramedics and pilots use their knowledge and skill to save lives every day, however we cannot do this without your help!
The Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance receives no direct Government or National Lottery funding. We rely on the generosity of the public to help us raise the £1.5 million a year it costs to keep flying.
You can make a difference by donating TODAY!
On average, we attend 3-4 incidents a day, however this number significantly increases during the summer months. We can be anywhere within the two counties in under 19 minutes of an emergency call.
In 2011 alone, we attended 617 incidents of which 108 involved minors (under 16). This clearly demonstrates the need for an Air Ambulance that serves Dorset and Somerset.
Our website aims to inspire you, to inform you and to ask you for support. Please take your time to look around and if you would like to help us, we would love to hear from you.
Thank you!
