Last week, colleagues from across YAA came together at Nostell ASU for a day of team building, strategy planning and a Q&A with our Senior Leadership Team. 🚁

It was a fantastic opportunity to learn more about each other, plan for the future, and strengthen the teamwork that sits at the heart of everything we do.💛

Every lifesaving mission we attend is made possible by the generosity of our supporters. Please consider making a donation today: yaa.org.uk/donate

On New Year's Eve 2025, Ali and her daughter Izzy were enjoying a simple morning walk along the pavement through Helmsley, North Yorkshire, when the unimaginable happened.

Both were struck by a tractor, leaving Ali with serious crush injuries and Izzy with head injuries. Separated by the vehicle and unable to see one another, neither knew if the other was safe.

Our crew flew Ali to hospital, while Izzy travelled by land ambulance. Despite the fear and uncertainty, Izzy knew her mum was in the best possible hands with our critical care team. 🚁

After everything their family has been through, Izzy is now giving back to the charity that was there for them on one of the most difficult days of their lives. This weekend, she'll be taking on our Hike4Helis 1 Peak Challenge in support of YAA.

Ali and Izzy's story is a reminder that a life-changing emergency can happen to anyone, at any time, even during an ordinary walk. 💛

Your support helps us be there for families like Ali and Izzy's when every second counts. Donate today and help keep us flying: yaa.org.uk/donate

A huge thank you to YAA superstars Margot, Connie and Marnie, who set up a homemade lemonade stand during the heatwave a couple of weeks ago to raise money for YAA. 🍋☀️💛

Through their hard work and enthusiasm, they raised an amazing £16.50! Every pound makes a difference and helps us continue being there for the people of Yorkshire.

Sometimes there are just no words! 🌈💛🚁

This stunning was captured by supporter Sue Bilcliffe at Angler's Country Park, Wintersett, Wakefield.

With a rainbow framing one of our helicopters, it feels particularly fitting during Pride Month. At YAA, we're proud to be an inclusive organisation, providing lifesaving care for everyone across Yorkshire and fostering a culture where people feel respected, valued and able to be themselves. 🚁 💛
