Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA)

Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) is the People's Helicopter – saving and improving lives in every corner of Scotland, 365 days a year. Since the service launched in 2013, the charity has responded to over 2,000 emergencies from Orkney to the Scottish Borders. As the country's ONLY charity-funded air ambulance, SCAA relies entirely on public donations to fuel its life-saving flights that bring help and hope to those suffering serious injury or illness. An integral part of Scotland's front-line emergency response network, SCAA can reach 90% of Scotland's population within 25 minutes from its base in Perth, including remote and rural areas that are difficult to access by road. Time-critical traumatic accidents and medical emergencies including road traffic collisions, industrial accidents, equestrian, sporting and leisure accidents, strokes and heart attacks, falls and agricultural injuries all feature in SCAA's busy workload as it flies expert paramedic care to the scene and provides fast onward transfer to specialist hospitals. SCAA is a proven life-saving service that needs your support - to keep it flying to those in desperate need of an air ambulance, when speed and urgent medical attention are critical factors in their chance of survival.
