How we're funded - Cornwall Air Ambulance

Cornwall Air Ambulance flies an average of three missions a day, bringing vital emergency medical treatment to patients in their hour of need across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. As a charity it relies on the generosity of supporters in Cornwall and beyond to provide this lifesaving service.

It costs over £6m to run the charity each year. With no direct Government funding towards running costs, it’s people like you that keep the helicopter flying. Funds are raised in a variety of ways.
