Please help save a life in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly this Christmas. Everyone knows someone who has been airlifted and no one knows who may need that mission next. By funding our missions, you can double your donation to help seriously injured or ill individuals in their hour of need.

Situation
The rural, geographical landscape in Cornwall mean many people live more than an hour’s drive from a major hospital. From the Isles of Scilly this distance is even greater. For seriously injured or ill adults, children and older people with time-critical medical needs, every minute really does counts. Early medical treatment not only saves lives but can improve patients’ chances of long-term recovery.
Solution
Cornwall Air Ambulance Paramedics are the only critically care trained Paramedics in Cornwall. With their enhanced skills and a state-of-the-art air ambulance, we can take the resources of the Emergency Department to the scene of the incident. Critical care at scene and rapid transfer by air to hospital is vital to saving hundreds of lives of local residents and visitors across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly every year.
