The County Air Ambulance Trust HELP Appeal, which is the only charity in the country funding helicopter emergency landing pads at NHS hospitals, needs your support.

In an emergency, when time is of the essence, being able to land on a helipad that's seconds away from specialist hospital care, is crucial. Since 2009, thousands of seriously ill and injured patients have landed on hospital helipads that the HELP Appeal has funded, which have saved time and saved many lives.

But its work is nowhere near done. It still needs to fund over 60 helipads. This will not be possible without your support, as it does not receive either Government or National Lottery funding.

By taking part in this virtual bucket collection, you could help to fund the next urgently needed helipad that will give a patient with life threatening injuries or illness the best possible chance of survival.

Thank you for your support!
