East Anglian Air Ambulance treated over 1,800 people in 2025
The charity is sharing the impact of its lifesaving missions across the region.
The East Anglian Air Ambulance has announced that its crews treated 1,845 people across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk in 2025.
Among those treated, 151 were children under the age of 18. The busy year saw an average of five people receiving urgent care every day, with August noted as the busiest month when 166 patients were treated.
One of those patients was 13-year-old Jaden from Norwich, who suffered a severe leg injury in a motocross accident in Norfolk. Emergency crews, including the East Anglian Air Ambulance team, provided immediate care at the scene before flying him to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital for surgery.
Gemma Waller, Jaden’s mother, expressed her gratitude:
"East Anglian Air Ambulance means a lot to us as a family. They got to Jaden quickly, dealt with him professionally, and brought him to hospital for the right care and treatment."
The charity has shared details on the range of incidents its paramedics and doctors attended last year. These included 563 cardiac arrests, 348 road traffic accidents, and 403 medical emergencies such as serious respiratory or neurological conditions.
Luke Chamberlain, Clinical Lead for East Anglian Air Ambulance, highlighted the importance of community donations:
"Last year, crews from our Norwich and Cambridge bases provided urgent treatment and care to 1,845 people. We’re fuelled entirely by donations, without any regular government funding, so support from the public powers every single mission."
Each emergency tasking costs an average of £4,250, meaning every flight and every piece of equipment is supported by charitable donations.
The East Anglian Air Ambulance operates 24/7, bringing hospital-level care directly to patients in the region.
