PLEASE NOTE: The Open Garden at Maracay, Dean Lane, Cookham on Sunday, 12 September has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.  Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

 

The Thames Valley Air Ambulance provides a life saving service seven days a week, 365 days a year, covering the three counties we serve, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.  

Longer flying hours for Thames Valley & Chiltern Air Ambulance 

                 

The Thames Valley & Chiltern Air Ambulance (TVACAA) will be able to save more lives from July after the announcement that its current daily operational flight time will rise from 10 to 12 hours a day.
 
Cost, flight regulations and the inability to fly in the hours of darkness are all factors influencing the deployment of the air ambulance but the longer daylight hours in the summer allows longer flying time.
 
Pat Conafray, Head of Fundraising at TVACAA said: “Incident rates increase in the summer and longer daylight hours mean that more people are out and about on the roads and undertaking outdoor activities that can lead to accidents.
 
“The wonderful generosity of the people of Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire has enabled us to increase our flying time and to further improve the service we provide for them.”
 
The Thames Valley & Chiltern Air Ambulance will begin its 12 hour operation between 7am and 7pm on Monday 5th July 2010 and will continue until 5th October 2010. 

Would you like to part of our Team ?

The Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance Trust is looking for volunteers to join their fundraising team.
Our Volunteers give us something special, they donate their time and commitment, and without this help we would be unable to continue our important work of raising much needed funds.
Volunteer's roles are extremely varied, and you will have the choice of how you would like to help. Perhaps you could spare some of your time helping at an event, give a talk on the work of the charity, collect and distribute our collection boxes? There is a role for everyone,  and of course you will be given training and support.

If YOU would like to be part of our valuable team, and/or would like further information please call us on 0300 999 0 135 or email info@tvacaa.org
