The Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust is a non-profit organization based in Carloggas, Cornwall, near Newquay, established in 1987 as the first air ambulance service in the UK. It operates as a company limited by guarantee and functions as a charitable entity, supported by a regional network of donations from local people, community groups, and businesses, and it sustains an associated Trading Limited entity to manage commercial partnerships beyond traditional CSR activities. The charity provides rapid aerial medical response to the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly area, contributing to life-saving emergencies by facilitating swift patient transfer and coordinated care with local healthcare facilities. It has been recognized with multiple awards within the third sector and maintains ongoing collaborations with partners and hospitals to ensure efficient patient movement when helicopters land at facilities such as Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust. Recent activity highlights the Trading Limited receiving an Investing in Volunteers award and continued partnerships with organizations to expand its outreach and fundraising efforts, underscoring its role within the regional emergency medical response landscape.
