March 12, 2020-His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has today become Patron of London's Air Ambulance Charity.
His Royal Highness supported the charity’s yearlong 30th anniversary campaign in 2019, during which he flew with the crew and met staff and patients from the service. Through this experience and his own work as an air ambulance pilot, he has seen first-hand the impact of rapid response treatment for the most critically ill patients.
Thanks to His Royal Highness’s support in 2019 at events including the charity’s 30th Anniversary Dinner and the Kings Cup Sailing Regatta, London’s Air Ambulance Charity was able to boost awareness efforts and reach several key milestones in its 30th anniversary campaign. This included securing £1.4 million funding to develop new training and wellbeing facilities for the London’s Air Ambulance crews.
