East Anglian Air Ambulance: Support our urgent Cambridge Air Base Appeal

Cambridge Airport – home to our Cambridge crew – will be closing. Without a base in Cambridgeshire, we risk losing half of the service that currently responds to medical emergencies across our region.

Every day, five people across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk need our specialist critical care team. People like baby Clayton who was born at just 26 weeks.

Clayton’s story
“I looked down and saw a tiny baby boy gasping for air,” Clayton’s Mum, Mia, recalls.
Our Anglia Two crew, Dr Liam Neale and Critical Care Paramedic (CCP) Jon Locke, were dispatched by critical care car from our Cambridge base. When they arrived, Clayton was alive but extremely unwell. It was a race against time and they began treating Clayton immediately, providing critical care in the moments he needed it most.

Against all the odds, Clayton survived.

We need your help to relocate and build a new base

24/7 365 days a year, our crews deliver hospital-level care to people facing sudden medical emergencies. We’re not just a fast transfer to hospital; we bring the emergency department to the scene, giving people the best possible chance when every second counts. But right now, this lifesaving service is under threat.

With no Cambridge site, our air ambulance service will be cut in half – leaving just one base in Norfolk. With no crew in the centre of the region, tasking times to patients, like Baby Clayton, who are facing time-sensitive, life-threatening emergencies, will increase dramatically – putting local lives at risk.

As a charity, every mission we attend is only possible thanks to public donations. Please act now and donate £30 to protect the future of lifesaving care in East Anglia: eaaa.org.uk/base
