SCAA continues to provide vital support to our island communities, ensuring that those seriously ill or injured in remote locations reach mainland hospital care in the fastest possible time. Recent missions over a four-day period saw SCAA fly to Arran, Rothesay and Tiree to carry out the urgent transfer of patients to Crosshouse Hospital, the Royal Alexandra Hospital and the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital respectively, taking as little as 10 minutes to complete the flights.

About us
Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) saves lives in every corner of Scotland, 365 days a year. Since the service launched in 2013, the charity has responded to over 5,000 emergencies from Orkney to the Scottish Borders. As the country’s only charity-funded air ambulance, SCAA relies on public donations to fuel its life-saving flights that bring help and hope to those suffering serious injury or illness. As an integral part of Scotland’s front-line emergency response network, SCAA operates two helicopter air ambulances from bases in Perth and Aberdeen, as well as one Rapid Response Vehicle at each base. Time-critical traumatic accidents and medical emergencies including road traffic collisions, industrial accidents, equestrian, sporting and leisure accidents, strokes and heart attacks, falls and agricultural injuries all feature in SCAA’s busy workload as it flies expert paramedic care to the scene and provides fast onward transfer to specialist hospitals. SCAA is a proven life-saving service that needs your support - to keep it flying to those in desperate need of an air ambulance, when speed and urgent medical attention are critical factors in their chance of survival. For details on working in partnership with SCAA by fundraising, volunteering, event participation or sponsorship opportunities please get in touch with our fundraising team by calling 0300 123 1111 or emailing fundraising@scaa.org.uk.
