Blades of Hope: Saving More Lives
2024 Appeal: #HELI2
Help us secure a second lifeline for the people of Cornwall. Support our second helicopter appeal.
We attend over 1,000 missions every year, with a total exceeding 32,000 since we were founded in 1987, but our work is far from over. With a second helicopter, we will be there for even more people in their time of need.
A top-specification helicopter like our current AW169 will cost us over £10 million. Thanks to our generous supporters, we’re already two-thirds of the way there. Can you help us reach the remaining £2.8 million?
Have time to give?
Your time is a precious gift that can create ripples of positive change. Join our passionate volunteer team, work in our charity shops, organise events, or lend a hand during critical operations. Every moment you give amplifies our ability to deliver lifesaving care.
