Welcome to the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance Charity
Air Ambulance answers its first emergency July 1, 2007
The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance Charity was launched in October 2005.
On 1st July 2007, the Air Ambulance became operational and is now flying several missions every day. By mid-January 2009, the Air Ambulance had attended over 1200 incidents, many of which saved lives.
The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance Charity provides a vital service to the two counties yet relies entirely on voluntary donations. With increasing fuel and administration costs, it needs to raise more than £85,000 every month to succeed: that's almost £3000 every day.
None of us know when we may need its help. Airborne within three minutes of a 999 call, the Air Ambulance can reach most of its operational area within fifteen minutes. It needs an area only half the size of a tennis court to be able to land.
