The Surrey Air Ambulance Fund is part of the Kent Air Ambulance Trust, a registered charity established to relieve sick and injured people in South East England and the surrounding areas. They provide a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service and air ambulance service for the benefit of the whole community.

Surrey Air Ambulance responds quickly to 999 calls, delivering it's highly skilled team of Doctors and Critical Care Paramedics to the scene of an accident or medical emergency within minutes.
Flying fast, direct and unhindered at over 150mph, the Air Ambulance can reach any part of Surrey within 15 minutes flying time and can transport patients to the nearest major hospital or specialist unit in a fraction of the time taken by land ambulance.

Since the charity does not receive Government or National Lottery funding, the support of the public is vital to meet the yearly running costs of approximately £1.5 million to provide Surrey and neighboring Sussex with an emergency helicopter service, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

The Surrey Centre Committee is honoured to have this worthy cause as its chosen charity for 2009 and will be raising money for it at our 175th Anniversary Charity Dinner at Epsom Downs Racecourse on 15th May 2009, along with other events throughout the year.  Further details, with regard to the Dinner, are to be issued shortly.
