Saving Lives Across Yorkshire, Every Day

Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA) is a lifesaving charity providing rapid-response emergency care to the 5 million people living across Yorkshire’s 3 million acres. With two air support units based at Nostell near Wakefield and RAF Topcliffe near Thirsk, our helicopters can reach even the most remote locations within 20 minutes, bringing expert critical care to those who need it most.

As an independent charity, we rely almost entirely on public donations to keep our helicopters in the air and our crews at the frontline of emergency care. Every mission we fly is only possible thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Delivering Critical Care When It Matters Most

Our critical care teams bring hospital-level treatment directly to the scene of an emergency, providing advanced interventions before patients are transported to hospitals and major trauma centres for urgent specialist care. Every year, we respond to thousands of incidents across the region, delivering lifesaving support to people in their most vulnerable moments.

Powered by You, for Yorkshire

For more than two decades, Yorkshire Air Ambulance has been at the heart of communities across the region, providing hope when it is needed most. None of this would be possible without our supporters. 

Every donation fuels our lifesaving mission, helping us reach more patients, save more lives, and remain ready to respond whenever Yorkshire needs us.
