THE PRINCE OF WALES WILL ATTEND LONDON’S AIR AMBULANCE CHARITY GALA DINNER
Wednesday 7th February 2024
The Prince of Wales, Patron of London’s Air Ambulance Charity, will attend the London’s Air Ambulance Charity gala dinner on Wednesday 7th February. During the event the Prince, who previously worked as an air ambulance pilot for the East Anglia Air Ambulance, will meet with crewmembers, former patients and supporters, before delivering a short speech.
London’s Air Ambulance Charity delivers an advanced trauma team to critically injured people in London every day of the year. The service provides rapid response and cutting-edge medical care for the millions of people who live, work and visit London, bringing the hospital emergency department to the scene of an incident, and delivering life-saving treatment to over 45,000 people since its foundation in 1989.
By providing intervention as quickly as possible after injury, London Air Ambulance Charity aims to give patients the best chance of survival, and best quality of life, after traumatic injury.
The gala dinner is being held in support of the charity’s largest ever fundraising campaign, ‘Up Against Time’, which aims to raise £15 million by autumn this year to replace the charity’s helicopter fleet, allowing them to future proof the service and continue to save lives.
The Prince of Wales became Patron of London’s Air Ambulance Charity in March 2020 after supporting their 30th anniversary campaign.
