Story

Each year, our team nominate and vote for our Charity of the year. This year we are proud to be supporting YORKSHIRE AIR AMBULANCE.

Yorkshire Air Ambulance is an independent charity providing a lifesaving rapid response emergency service to 5 million people across the whole of Yorkshire.

To keep both of the air ambulance helicopters maintained and in the air, the charity needs to raise £19,000 every single day. This year YGC is on a mission to give all their efforts to help fund the service for a whole day.

Did you know that:

- Donating £26 funds those first two critical minutes that the YAA crews have to become active and airborne. These critical two minutes can save a life.

- £158 funds 12 minutes of flight time - the average flight time following a 999 call

- £264 is the cost of 20 minutes of flighting. This flight time can access 90% of the Yorkshire population

- The YAA are called out on average 4 times a day, with each mission costing an average of £4,750

YAA responded to more than 1,700 life-saving missions last year, in England's largest county- Yorkshire!

Your support on our JustGiving page is much appreciated and helps to save life. From sharing our page to raise awareness of the team spirit, sponsoring a team mate on the many challenges this year, buying the charity cake or cheering us on, we are thrilled to have you on this journey with us.
