Your local SCAA contact - Michael Hanratty

I have first-hand experience of SCAA's role in saving the life of a family member, so I know that anyone at anytime could need this crucial service. The team at SCAA are incredible and want to do their best for the people of Scotland. I enjoy working with people and fundraisers across Scotland to raise awareness and support for our air ambulance crews. To connect with Michael, email: m.hanratty@scaa.org.uk
