The Essex & Herts Air Ambulance Trust is responsible for operating two helicopter emergency medical services; one to the County of Essex and one to Hertfordshire and surrounding areas. Clinicians and life-saving support equipment can be rushed to the scene of an incident and the patient can be flown to an appropriate hospital, within minutes.
Essex & Herts Air Ambulance Trust receives no National Lottery funding and is reliant upon donations from the general public and local business to raise funds in order to maintain both the Essex and Herts Air Ambulances.
Please be Aware!
It has been brought to our attention by supporters that an organisation called Air Ambulance (Trading Co) Ltd are delivering clothes recycling leaflets to homes in our area.

A Statement about the Children’s Air Ambulance
We have recently been made aware by supporters and the police that canvassers from the Children’s Air Ambulance have been calling on homes in our area. Whilst we acknowledge that the Children’s Air Ambulance is a registered charity, we wish to draw to the attention of our supporters the following points:
- The Children’s Air Ambulance is in no way connected to the Essex and Herts Air Ambulance Trust.
- Essex and Herts Air Ambulance Trust employs canvassers to promote the Essex and Herts Air Ambulance Trust Flight for Life Lottery Ltd but they do not ask for cash at the door.
- All our canvassers wear Essex Air Ambulance or Herts Air Ambulance branded clothing and carry ID badges.
- Our canvassers only ask people to sign up to the Flight for Life Lottery by Direct Debit and do not ask people to part with their cash.
Anyone that gets a visit from a canvasser is reminded to ask for I.D. If you are still not sure please contact the Lottery Team in the first instance on 0845 2417 688 for clarification.
