Having been in the audience for the last two years as an enthusiastic supporter this year I plucked up the courage to apply for Strictly 2024 and was lucky enough to be chosen! I can’t wait to be part of such a great show and to raise lots of money for an amazing charity which solely relies on the generosity of the general public.

Every day of the year, your local air ambulance is helping save more lives. Our critical care paramedics, doctors and pilots attend an average of ten rescue missions a day.

The air ambulance gives people the very best chance of survival and recovery. We are supported by a Critical Care Car meaning that we can reach those who need us 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

Within minutes, our critical care crews can be on the ground delivering pre-hospital critical care and giving patients the very best chance of survival – this vital service relies entirely on donations to raise the £2,300 needed for each rescue mission, as the charity receives no government or National Lottery funding.
