CHOSEN CHARITY FOR 2024
We are delighted to announce that Essex & Herts Air
Ambulance (EHAAT) will once again be our chosen charity
for the 2024 Herts Business Awards.
On average, they treat 1,000 patients every year, with the
HEMS (helicopter emergency medical service) team dispatched
approximately six times per day across Essex, Hertfordshire
and surrounding areas.
EHAAT strives to save lives, reduce or prevent disability,
or suffering from critical illness and injury, by delivering a
first-class pre-hospital emergency medical service. With two
helicopters and a fleet of rapid response vehicles (RRVs), this
life-saving service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Each base (Earls Colne and North Weald) works a twelve-hour
helicopter shift when daylight hours allow. The shift continues
in a rapid response vehicle (RRV) when daylight hours are
reduced.
Essex & Herts Air Ambulance, unlike NHS emergency
services, is a charity. It costs £12 million every year to
cover all operational and charitable costs. Without access
to National Lottery funding and with limited government
support, EHAAT relies upon the generosity and goodwill
of local people and businesses so they can continue to be
there for people when they are needed most.
Being the chosen charity of the Herts Business Awards for
2024 means your contributions on the evening via the raffle,
charity envelopes and auction will help EHAAT to continue
to provide this valuable service to the public.
It would be great if you would kindly consider donating
an item to be auctioned on the night with all proceeds
supporting the charity.
