Yorkshire Air Ambulance provides a life-saving service to more than five million people across the region, attending more than 1,300 incidents each year.

The charity, which is currently replacing its two ageing aircraft with state-of-the-art Airbus helicopters, needs to raise £12,000 every single day - or £4.4million a year - to keep flying.

It provides a life saving 160mph rapid response emergency service every day of the year to five million people across four million acres of Yorkshire, operating out of Nostell Priory near Wakefield and RAF Topcliffe, near Thirsk.
