Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) exists so no one in Scotland suffers or dies because medical help cannot get there in time.
People can get sick or have accidents anywhere and anytime. But in Scotland there are places where urgent medical help cannot reach people. Our rugged and remote country means that when there is an accident or medical emergency it can be difficult for help to get there in time. And when lives are at risk every minute matters.
As a charity we rely on donations from the Scottish public, companies and communities to make sure that urgent medical help gets to the patient when it is needed, wherever they are and at speed.
The impact of your support
SCAA is Scotland’s only Charity Air Ambulance and is funded entirely by the generosity of the people of Scotland. Thanks to SCAA supporters, we are able to respond to time-critical accidents and emergencies throughout Scotland and its many Islands.
