‘SING IT HOME’
THIS CHRISTMAS
Help us ‘sing it, sing it home’ this Christmas
Our elves are working hard to double your donation this Christmas. For every £1 you donate, they will use their festive magic (thanks to some generous supporters) to make it £2.
We need you now, more than ever, to help bring your second helicopter home to Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Every donation, however big or small, will help save lives for many more Christmases to come.
Any donation you are able to make this festive season will be doubled, thanks to generous match funders.Full T&Cs at the base of this page.
If you are able to support us with a generous donation, it will only be doubled up to the end of December.
Thank you!
Your donation will be doubled this Christmas
Could you make our Christmas wish come true?
Your donation this Christmas will support our #HELi2 appeal, enabling us to buy your vital second lifesaving helicopter.
Owning a second high-capability aircraft will boost our resilience and availability, meaning we can respond to more patients by air and save more lives. Any donation you are able to make will be instantly doubled, thanks to the amazing support of some generous donors and a little festive magic.
The story behind our animation
Our new magical story sees a young boy write a letter to Father Christmas, asking for a second helicopter so that Cornwall Air Ambulance can save more lives like his Mum’s.
As the letter sets off at midnight on Christmas Eve, it travels through Cornish towns and villages, as communities help to sing it on its way across iconic landmarks, before eventually arriving in the North Pole. The elves get to work to build the second helicopter in their workshop, but will they finish it and ‘sing it home’ in time for Christmas?
Of course, no Christmas story would be complete without a signature soundtrack. Our foot-tapping shanty song ‘Sing it Home’, recorded by hundreds of artists from across our county, helps to make this a ‘must see’ animation this year.
‘Sing it Home’ a community sound track
This Christmas, we’re bringing the community together through music to help sing home your second lifesaving helicopter. The sound track on our Christmas animation has been crafted from our charity song ‘Sing it Home’ with musical community groups across the county.
One of the singers is our very own Critical Care Paramedic, Jeremy Griffiths, as part of his shanty group Falmouth Shout. Jeremy said: “It’s an honour to be featured on Sing it Home with Falmouth Shout. Owning a second helicopter will help us attend more patients by air, 19-hours a day, 365 days a year, and ultimately save even more lives. The track and the album are a great way to bring the community together to make that mission possible.”
Other artists featured include The Oggymen, Kana, Falmouth Shout, Tom Cary, Shane Solomon, The Stowes, Barrett’s Privateers, the Boscastle Buoys and former patient Lottee Brown.
T&Cs: Any donation you are able to make this festive season up to the collective value of £123k or until the campaign ends on 31/12/24 will be doubled with grateful thanks to our match donor Barbara Carter for significantly supporting Cornwall Air Ambulance.
