Discover How You Can Support Cornwall Air Ambulance at the Royal Cornwall Show

With the Royal Cornwall Show kicking off tomorrow, attendees have an exciting opportunity to learn more about the critical services provided by Cornwall Air Ambulance.

This year, the Cornwall Air Ambulance will be situated at stand 144, conveniently located near the east entrance.

Get Involved with the Heli2 Appeal

Visitors to the stand will have the chance to learn about the ongoing Heli2 Appeal. The appeal is a significant effort aimed at raising funds for a second lifesaving helicopter, expected to arrive in early 2025. This new addition, an AW169 helicopter, will bolster the Cornwall Air Ambulance’s capabilities, allowing for more missions and advanced care.

Why a Second Helicopter?

Since the introduction of the first AW169 in 2020, Cornwall Air Ambulance has undertaken over 3,000 missions, providing crucial aid to thousands of families. The demand for these services underscores the need for a second helicopter. The new helicopter will enhance their ability to respond to emergencies, ensuring that more lives can be saved across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

The Fundraising Goal

The Heli2 Appeal is aimed at raising the remaining £2.85 million needed to purchase this second helicopter. The appeal has already garnered significant support, with most of the funds already secured. The goal is within reach, and the Cornwall Air Ambulance team will be on hand at the show to discuss how the community can contribute to this life-saving effort.
