We are Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex (KSS), and we fight every day to save lives. It costs £18.8M to operate our lifesaving service, 88% of this is raised through public donations and fundraising. Reg. Charity No. 1021367 We’re driven by our purpose of saving lives and ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients. Last year alone we attended over 2,500 incidents. We are fearless and tireless in fighting to save every life. Our charity headquarters and forward operating base are located at Rochester Airport, with our aircraft hangared and maintained at Redhill Aerodrome. When the call comes, we can reach any part of Kent, Surrey or Sussex in under 30 minutes. Patients are at the heart of everything we do. We bring the emergency room to the scene and deliver outstanding specialist treatment, care and support to give our patients their very best possible outcome. Time is critical. Which is why our fleet of helicopters and rapid response vehicles can transport our doctors and paramedics to our patients 24/7, 365 days a year. We were the first 24/7 Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) in the country. Find out more about our critical, life-saving service or get in touch: www.aakss.org.uk
