You could be the difference between life and death this winter

No one in Scotland should die because help cannot get there in time

People in Scotland die if help cannot get there, in time.

In winter's treacherous weather, the challenge is even greater. Icy weather increases the risk of accidents and when temperatures plummet an emergency can quickly escalate to a catastrophe.

When a life hangs in the balance, we must get there before it's too late.

You can be the difference between life and death.

We receive no government funding so rely on the generosity of our supporters. Every mission, every life saved, starts with your decision to give.

Will you bring life-saving care to someone in urgent need this winter?

Joyce - SCAA patient
When I fell, I fractured my shoulder in four places, my blood pressure was dropping and I've never been in so much pain. Thanks to kind supporters like you, SCAA got me to hospital in just 20 minutes, a journey that would have taken an hour and a half by road.

£25 could provide an extreme weather blanket to keep patients warm, and protect them from hypothermia.

£50 could provide a cup for our CPR system, which delivers life-saving automatic chest compressions.

£100 could provide 25 minutes' worth of fuel, so an air ambulance can reach a patient in need.
