TCAA needs your help to

raise £134,000 every

month to fund our vital

transfer service for

seriously ill children and

babies.

The Children’s Air Ambulance (TCAA) will provide an emergency helicopter transfer service for critically ill children

and babies across England. The service has been transferring specialist paediatric care teams to children since the

end of 2012, and will commence the emergency transfer of critically ill children by spring this year. By transferring

children between hospitals by air we can make sure that the journeys are done quickly and efficiently and ensure

that children get the lifesaving treatment they urgently need as soon as possible, avoiding potentially long and

arduous road journeys.

Approximately 5,800

children need transferring

every year in England, until

now the majority of

transfers have had to take

place by road.

Funded solely through the generous donations

received from the public and vital support from

corporate sponsors; the Charity receive no

Government or National Lottery funding.

Paediatric Intensive Care Unit who will work with and

support the work of TCAA. Whilst visiting the hospital
