Volunteer For Us | Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance

Donate your time, become a volunteer.

Our volunteers are our ambassadors, representing us to the wider public.

Why we need your help

Your support and time, whatever your role, helps us raise vital funds to keep our helicopter in the air and our two critical care cars on the road.

Each mission costs on average £4,000 and we attend an average of 4 missions per day.

Volunteer for us and together with our staff you can help to raise the £13 million we need every year to continue operations.
