Two important journeys, with a parent alongside their child on both flights 💚🚁

Over three days, our crew and Airdesk team worked with Clinical Partner Team Embrace to complete:

A transfer to King's College Hospital NHS (PRUH) in 1 hour 13 minutes, compared with 3 hours 42 minutes by road.

An incubator transfer to Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust in just 42 minutes, compared with 1 hour 58 minutes by road.

Behind each flight is a family making an important journey and teams working together to help a patient reach the care they need.

Your support helps make these transfers possible. Please donate via the link below to help keep us flying.

Moving offices is a big job — and we’ve been grateful for some extra pairs of hands! 💚

Recently, volunteers from Amazon.co.uk’s Coventry BHX4 site joined us to help move furniture as part of our office move.

Amazon supported their time through its employee volunteering scheme, and we’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who got stuck in. Your time, effort and willingness to help have been really appreciated.

Thank you for helping us get moving! 📦

Two days, two hospital transfers — made possible with the help of supporters like you 💚

Recently, our G-CPTZ crew and Airdesk team worked with Clinical Partner Team NWTS to transfer a patient and their parent to Great Ormond Street Hospital and Charity in 1 hour 4 minutes. By road, the journey would have taken 3 hours 57 minutes.

On another mission, working alongside Clinical Partner Team Embrace, they transferred a patient to Royal Victoria Infirmary in just 43 minutes, compared with 2 hours 27 minutes by road.

Behind both journeys were dedicated teams working together to help patients reach the care they needed. Your donation helps make missions like these possible.

A specialist incubator transfer, completed in just 26 minutes 🚁

A volunteering story with a very special ending 💚

When Matthew and Robyn joined our National Children's Air Ambulance Doncaster Superstore as volunteers in 2022, they were both initially quiet and nervous about stepping into a new environment. Over time, they found confidence, friendship and a real sense of belonging as part of the shop team.

As they got to know one another, a friendship grew into something more — and recently, we were delighted to hear that they got engaged! 💍

Matthew and Robyn’s story is a lovely reminder that volunteering can be about so much more than giving your time. It can create connections, build confidence and bring people together in unexpected ways.

Congratulations to you both from everyone at the National Children's Air Ambulance. We’re so pleased that you found each other, and we wish you every happiness for the future 💚

Two G-CPTZ missions. One day 🚁

Recently, our crew and Airdesk team completed two transfers alongside Clinical Partner Teams NWTS and KIDS.

First, working with NWTS, the team transferred a patient to Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust in just 30 minutes, compared with an estimated 1 hour 21 minutes by road.

Later that day, alongside KIDS, they transferred a patient and their parent to Great Ormond Street Hospital and Charity in 42 minutes, instead of an estimated 2 hours 48 minutes by road.

Across the two missions, air travel saved just under three hours compared with travelling by road.
