The Charity is independent of government and National Lottery funding and is entirely dependent on fundraising and contributions. To keep its two air ambulances flying and to provide the advanced medical equipment they carry, over £4 million per year has to be raised. On average the EAAA are called to four incidents a day, life threatening situations such as road traffic accidents, incidents involving people in inaccessible places and cardiac arrests. Because of the advanced skills, drugs and equipment found on board and being able to access places impossible for a land ambulance, the EAAA can make the difference. Our service is funded entirely by charity and a team of fundraisers work hard to ensure enough money comes in to allow us to fly two aircraft, seven days a week, 365 days a year. We have fundraising staff in each of the four counties we serve, backed up by a team at head office who include the lottery staff.
