Lifesavers need public support

The sight of Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance in the skies of the north and north-east is becoming an increasingly familiar one.

Spotting it often provokes mixed emotions: sadness that someone’s life is in peril but optimism too that rapid help is on its way.

When it comes to the lifesaving missions flown by SCAA’s two helicopters – and the other aircraft reliant on public support across the UK – every second really does count.

And so does every penny.
