Yorkshire Air Ambulance
We are delighted to be supporting Yorkshire Air Ambulance at our LIVE Spring Fair in York this year.
For 25 years, Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA) has been at the heart of communities across the region, providing hope in the most difficult moments. The lifesaving charity provides rapid-response emergency care to the five million people living across Yorkshire’s three million acres. With two air support units, based at Nostell near Wakefield and RAF Topcliffe near Thirsk, YAA’s helicopters can reach even the most remote locations within 20 minutes, bringing expert critical care to those who need it most.
As an independent charity, YAA relies entirely on public donations to keep its helicopters in the air and its crews at the frontline of emergency care. Every mission is only possible thanks to the generosity of its supporters, and in 2024, that support helped achieve incredible things. Last year, YAA’s critical care teams responded to more than 1,400 incidents, providing lifesaving care to more than 1,300 patients across Yorkshire. YAA’s highly skilled team brought hospital-level care directly to the scene, delivering 417 lifesaving interventions before transporting 949 patients to hospitals and major trauma centres for urgent specialist treatment. Every donation fuels YAA’s lifesaving mission, helping it reach more patients, save more lives, and remain ready for those who need it most.
