Air ambulance launch second chopper appeal
Charity wants £6 million for expansion
This month Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance marks its fifth anniversary, a significant milestone made possible by the generosity and support of the people of Scotland.
This outstanding support has enabled Scotland’s only charity-funded helicopter air ambulance to respond to nearly 1800 emergency call-outs in every corner of the country since it launched in 2013.
You may have heard of our fundraising drive to launch a second helicopter to expand our life-saving work, providing additional pre-hospital cover for your community.
As we mark five years of saving and improving lives we’re asking everyone to get behind our Give Us Five campaign and help us fly into the future.
Consider supporting us by climbing five munros. Swim, run, cycle, ride or walk 5k for SCAA. Volunteer five hours to help. Donate £5. Give up your favourite thing for five hours, five days or five weeks.
Please create your own five-themed fundraiser and join us in our bid to provide a second charity-funded helicopter air ambulance to serve the people of Scotland.
We need £6 million to launch Helimed 79 and with your support we will see a second people’s helicopter take to the air, saving time and saving lives.
