About Us

Cornwall Air Ambulance is tasked to over 1,000 incidents every year, providing vital emergency medical treatment to the most seriously ill and injured people across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

In the 37 years since Cornwall Air Ambulance was founded, it has carried out over 34,000 missions, saving countless lives. As a charity, it relies on the generosity of supporters to fund these potentially lifesaving missions.

Cornwall Air Ambulance is on scene on average in just 12 minutes across mainland Cornwall and less than 30 minutes on the Isles of Scilly. The crew provide pre-hospital critical care at the scene of the incident and can go on to fly the patient to specialist hospital units in Cornwall, Devon, Bristol and even as far as Swansea.

The charity is now fundraising to bring a second lifesaving AW169 helicopter to Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, through the £2.85million Heli2 Appeal. Owning a second high-specification aircraft will boost the resilience of the charity’s service, it will enable the crew to attend more missions by air, and ultimately help them to save even more lives.

For the half a million people who call Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly home, as well as the millions who visit, Cornwall Air Ambulance is a reassuring presence, and it’s all thanks to the support of people like you.
