Your support helps deliver

A Modernised Helicopter Fleet

Three state‑of‑the‑art H145 helicopters are being introduced to our service, improving safety, performance, and patient outcomes.

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) Capability

IFR allows flights in more challenging weather conditions, meaning fewer mission cancellations and faster access to care when every second counts.

Advanced Medical Technology

Cutting‑edge medical equipment onboard our helicopters enables crews to deliver hospital‑level care from the moment they arrive.

Advanced Training for Pilots and Crew

Specialist, ongoing training ensures the pilots and paramedics are prepared for the demands of our terrain and the complexity of the emergencies they attend.

Who will need us next?

In the past year alone, the rescue helicopter crews attended over 1000 missions, supporting people in their most critical moments.

None of us know who will need a rescue helicopter next. What we do know is that when they do, they will rely on us to be ready.
