Your Charity
East Anglian Air Ambulance is your charity that provides 24/7 life-saving critical care to the most seriously injured and unwell people across East Anglia.
East Anglian Air Ambulance is a charity which is independent from the NHS and receives no regular government funding. Every incident we attend in the region costs (on average) £3,750. We are here for you because of you. It’s your generosity through kind donations and fundraising that keeps EAAA crews in the air and on the road. Your support enables us to attend life-threatening emergencies across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk to treat, on average, six people each day.
