Please support us during Air Ambulance Week – we can’t save lives without you!

During Air Ambulance Week (4th - 10th September), we are asking you to support our life-saving work by donating £10 to our cause, enabling us to be there for critically ill or injured patients, today, tomorrow and in the future. You can do this as a one-off donation or set up a regular payment of your choice.

Why support us this Air Ambulance Week

Since March 2000, Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance has been there for critically ill and injured people when they need us the most. The enhanced skills of our team, specialist equipment and drugs that we carry, along with the speed of our response, can make the difference between life and death.

The service we provide for the local community is 95% funded by charitable giving; by people like you. Last year, we were tasked to 2,424 incidents, with each mission costing approximately £3,500.

Every pound that you help raise during Air Ambulance Week will make a big difference to patients lives.
