Air Ambulances UK (AAUK) is the national charity supporting the lifesaving work of the UK’s air ambulance charities, enabling them to save even more lives every day.
Air ambulance crews bring the Emergency Department to patients who have suffered a life threatening or life changing trauma or medical emergency; providing advanced critical care to save lives.
On average an air ambulance can reach someone in urgent need within 15 minutes. Anyone, anywhere in the UK can become a patient at any time. Air ambulance charities are collectively dispatched to over 100 lifesaving missions each day across the UK; each mission is funded almost entirely by the generosity of local communities.

The County Air Ambulance Trust is an independent air ambulance charity founded in 1993.

They launched the Helicopter Emergency Landing Pads (HELP) Appeal in 2009. It was borne out of recognition that the biggest single deficiency in the helicopter emergency medical services network was the lack of suitable and available helipads at our Major Trauma and key A&E hospitals:

In an emergency, when time is of the essence, every second is vital in getting patients to the lifesaving treatment they require. Helipads are vital in saving valuable minutes for critical patients in major trauma situations. For many patients, a helipad could represent the difference between life and death. We are the only charity raising funds for these vital emergency helicopter landing pads and are committed to supporting a number of helipad projects across the country.

We are an independent charity, funded by and for the people of Devon, to provide Helicopter Emergency Medical Services and critical transfers.

From accidental injuries to severe medical emergencies, our crew delivers specialist and enhanced pre-hospital care to the most critically ill and injured, and transport patients to the most appropriate hospital to achieve the best outcomes for them.

Medical interventions that we provide at the scene of an incident include Rapid Sequence Induction (RSI), administering blood transfusions, analgesia, and many other lifesaving interventions.

We receive no government or NHS funding and must raise over £18 million to keep us operational. It's only thanks to the generosity of our supporters that we can continue flying to save lives.

"We're so pleased to be working with StC Payroll Giving to allow the people of the North West to support the vital and lifesaving work of the North West Air Ambulance Charity. As a charity which is funded entirely by charitable donations, our supporters' Payroll Giving donations are hugely important to us."

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea, they provide on call a 24-hour lifeboat search and rescue service around the UK and Ireland, and a seasonal lifeguard service. With their lifeboats, lifeguards, safety advice and flood rescue, we are committed to saving lives.

At the RNLI, we are committed to using robust evidence to support all of our lifesaving activity.

We use this evidence in a number of ways: from using cutting-edge science to engineer and design our boats to applying innovative social research methods to ensure that we understand our supporters. The diversity of the RNLIs research, insight and analysis reflects the wide range of work we undertake to save lives at sea.

RNLI researchers and analysts produce in-house analysis, as well as working with experts from academia and the private sector.

In addition they work internationaly to provide communities with knowledge, equipment and skills to reduce the number of water related deaths.
