Supported Charity

We are delighted to be supporting Yorkshire Air Ambulance at our York Christmas fair this year.

Yorkshire Air Ambulance operate two state-of-the-art helicopters which fly to those who are critically injured and require urgent medical attention across Yorkshire. Their teams of highly skilled clinicians take A&E to the scene of the accident, meaning patients start receiving urgent medical attention in the quickest time. They will also fly patients to hospital for urgent treatment – often to Major Trauma Centres, rather than the nearest local hospital. This means their patients can access the best specialists and treatment plans, specific to their injury types.
