East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA) is a life-saving service. In June 2021, we became the first air ambulance in the East of England to fly 24/7, enabling us to offer the same level of service, no matter what the time of day or night, to our patients and their families.

Operating from our bases in Norwich and Cambridge, our two helicopters are there for the people that might need us in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. At times when it is impractical to fly, we will attend in our rapid response vehicles which carry the same equipment as our helicopters.
We're not just a faster way to get patients to hospital. Our highly-skilled crew take the A&E department to the patient and provide treatments normally only seen in hospitals. These treatments, such as providing blood transfusions at scene, can mean the difference between life and death and ensure the patient has the best chance of getting to hospital.
We receive no regular government funding and rely on the generosity of our incredible supporters to keep our helicopters flying and be there for those that need us - turning what might have been their last hour into their worst hour.
As we look towards the future, we're thinking about sustaining our life-saving service. And how recycling clothes will help us do that.
