OUR air ambulance is a vital tool in saving lives.

Speed in any emergency is of the essence and so a new base to operate from in South Oxfordshire means patients can get the quickest treatment possible.

It is amazing when you consider the service is not funded by the Government and relies solely on charitable donations.

Stories such as that of Georgie Horlock, who suffered a cardiac arrest but was taken to Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital in 10 minutes, shows why our continued support means the difference between life and death.
