Wales Air Ambulance Charity • Elusen Ambiwlans Awyr Cymru

What We Do Provide air cover to relieve illness and injury across Wales. We have been doing this since 2001. We are the only air ambulance charity based in, and dedicated to, Wales. Our Mission We are on standby every day to protect human life through Helicopter Emergency Medical Services and air ambulance transfers across Wales. Our Vision To provide a 24-hour operation so we can help people both day and night, and continually strive for an outstanding air ambulance service available to everyone in Wales. Serving Wales, Saving Lives Wales Air Ambulance covers the whole of Wales every single day, covering rural countryside, bustling towns and cities, along the Welsh coastline and across vast mountain ranges. Each year, our helicopters attend around 3,000 missions. Our four airbase operations in Caernarfon, Llanelli, Welshpool and Cardiff are ready to save lives wherever needed. Flying ED (Emergency Department) Wales Air Ambulance can be anywhere in Wales within 20 minutes, taking the emergency department (ED) directly to the patient. Our critical care consultants and practitioners are highly skilled and we carry some of the most pioneering medical equipment in the world. This includes the ability to deliver blood transfusions, administer anaesthesia and undertake emergency operations. WAA is a registered charity and relies entirely on public donations to raise the £6.5 million needed each year to keep its four helicopters flying for Wales.
