A big shout-out to the teams across #Bedfordshire who joined @CoreFTF to go 'All In For Life', taking on a series of fitness challenges to raise money for Magpas Air Ambulance.
In total, the gym and all those who took part raised an
incredible £4,360 for our lifesaving cause!

@JonathanWoodhe2 @chinnychick @sallyacb275 We're passionate about increasing knowledge of how to use these lifesaving devices. We train schools, businesses & community groups in CPR skills & defib use every day. 100% of our trainees say they feel confident to act in an emergency after our training. https://t.co/Y251BGtphc

Our CEO, Daryl Brown MBE DL: “This celebration highlighted the vital importance of partnership working. We are proud of our medical team members, who are there for our communities, families & loved ones—but also of our supporters who enable us to respond when every second counts.

[Magpas Air Ambulance @Magpas_Charity]

Over the past 4 years, our small team of advanced paramedics have treated over 2,000 patients—including numerous complex and high-profile incidents—and supported both ambulance service crews and air ambulance teams to save lives when every second counts.

[Magpas Air Ambulance @Magpas_Charity]

As the first air ambulance to partner with EEAST to deliver the pioneering advanced paramedic service back in 2022, we're so pleased to see it now rolled out across the whole region; ensuring more people have access to the specialist critical care advanced paramedics can provide.

Following a new UK-wide research study published yesterday, we’re proud that Magpas Air Ambulance is contributing to the East of England having the highest 24/7 air ambulance provision in the UK.

[Magpas Air Ambulance @Magpas_Charity]

Did you know?

Our air ambulance can be airborne within within 3 minutes and flies at speeds of 170-200 miles an hour, landing in places not always accessible by land ambulance.

It is only with supporters like you that we can continue to save lives 24/7, 365 days a year.

[Magpas Air Ambulance @Magpas_Charity]

Happy New Year from everyone here at Magpas Air Ambulance!

Thank you for making 2025 a wonderful year, which saw some huge milestones for our charity. We can’t wait to see what amazing things we’ll achieve together in 2026.

With you, we save lives.
