Welcome...

Welcome to the Devon Air Ambulance Trust's website.  We hope you enjoy your visit.  Why not let us know what you think?

This Friday sees our annual ball, but this year with a bit of a twist!  Called a 'Recession Ball' it is full of all the fun of the old fashioned country fair with hoopla, coconut shy, bottle stand, and our very own fortune teller 'Guinivere - Voice of the Ball! Providing the music will be fantastic Devon band 'Thick as Thieves'! 

Tickets are just £17.50 and for that you not only get great music, fantastic entertainment, but a hearty meal of meat or vegetable stew, dumplings and crusty rolls!

Caroline Creer, the charity's Fundraising Director said ‘We are very grateful to our sponsors, without whom this event just wouldn’t be possible - Hatch Marquees, Edge Recruits and Eventful (SW) Ltd.’

Success Stories

Steuart Wimms is pictured with paramedic Helen Mackie.  We met Steuart at West Exe Technical College in Exeter, where he is Deputy Headmaster. The school chose to support us as their charity of the year and have recently presented us with £7,706!

Steuart had a terrible road traffic collision (rtc) in May 2008 when he was in a head-on collision with another vehicle on his side of the road and coming over the brow of a hill.  His seat belt and driver's airbag prevented him from going through the windscreen and probably saved his life, although he was trapped in the crushed car and unconscious for about 40-45 minutes.

Check back here soon and we'll tell you about a few more of the patients who we have made a difference to - look around the website and see how you can also make a difference! Click here to read about some of our success stories

Get Involved

There are many ways you can get involved and make a difference.

For example, you could make a one off or regular donation - and did you know if you are a UK Tax Payer that you can gift a further 28p in the £1 through Gift Aid without it costing you a single penny more?

It doesn't always have to be a monetary contribution though.  For example had you thought of putting on your own fundraising event? 

Or do you have time on your hands?  Why not donate the gift of time by becoming a volunteer? Pictured are just a few of our volunteers!

Whatever you can do to help, we truly appreciate - take a look around the website for further information, or why not get in touch via our contacts page ?  We'd love to hear from you.

Recent Missions

We've been looking at ways that we can tell you about what the helicopter has been up to, and with the help of Google, we've come up with a solution! 

This website contains a mission map , which will be updated at the beginning of every day with the  missions flown the day  before.  

Some of the missions of course are slightly more unusual, and you'll be able to find more information about these types of missions as the months go on, in our news section.  

Why not check back regularly and find out more about what we've been up to?
