The East Anglian Air Ambulance is solely funded by charitable donations from the people of East Anglia and they are indebted to those who continue to support them.

Last year they undertook 1,670 missions of which 554 were in Norfolk. Operating an enhanced emergency care service is a complex and costly business. They operate 365 days a year, flying missions day and night; currently each mission costs in the region of £2,448.

Their medical teams comprise of highly qualified doctors and critical care paramedics, operating from state-of-the-art helicopters. No other organisation in our region can deliver such enhanced care to patients quickly and wherever they may be and when necessary, fly them to whichever hospital in the region is best equipped to continue the life-saving work they have begun.

I myself have experienced the care provided by the East Anglian Air Ambulance back in 2001 following a nasty road traffic collision. My thanks and respect will always be with the emergency service crews that attended this accident. 

I strongly believe that "it is a service that anyone could need at any time". Hopefully you may never have to meet with the crews in this type of incident but I'm sure we all know someone who has already benefited from their care!
