Association of Air Ambulances (AAA)
We belong to the AAA.  It's a trade body which enables us to join together with the majority of the other Air Ambulance charities, as well as helicopter operators and ambulance services in order to  share good practice and work collaboratively on industry wide issues.  Why not take a look at the AAA  website ?

Could you spare a couple of free hours, either on a regular or occasional basis?  Why not donate the gift of time to us - it really does make a difference!

Our volunteer roles vary greatly, and you can do as many or few of those tasks.  For example you might like to pledge your time to one of our charity shops,which may involve you helping out on the shop floor, serving customers, sorting donated goods. Or you might want to service the collection boxes in your area, do talks to community groups, or attend events with one of our merchandise stalls.

If you would like to find out more about how  YOU can make a difference why not give Philip King our Volunteering Manager a ring now?  01392 466666 or email him at info@daat.org   

We'd love to hear from you!

Success Stories

Lauren is a typical four-year old; lively and enthusiastic, with a ready smile for everyone.  She has a sister, Ellie, aged six and a little brother, Alfie, who is nearly two.

In August 2010, Lauren and Ellie were invited to stay over at their grandparents farm, just half a mile down the road from their home, in Westleigh near Tiverton.  Ellie and Lauren loved the adventure of staying at Grandma’s and were happy to help in many aspects of farming.

Next morning, along with their auntie and a farmhand, they were busy in the milking parlour preparing all the cows and young calves to be milked.  Lauren was particularly excited and showing everyone her ‘special new dance’ when she tripped and fell backwards, landing heavily into a bucket of boiling water.   Read more....

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?
