The support of Kwik Fit as a national partner will help raise awareness of the vital work of the air ambulance services across the UK, while enabling funds to be raised for staff and customers’ local air ambulance charities.

Air Ambulances UK is a national organisation which champions and supports the lifesaving work of the UK’s 21 air ambulance charities. Through Air Ambulances UK, Kwik Fit will raise funds for all those 21 regional charities, as well as help increase local and national awareness of their essential missions.
