This role involves travelling to locations to collect and replace full collection pots, building relationships with local businesses and supporters, and promoting the charity.
We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to support the work of London’s Air Ambulance Charity in the community.

We’re a unique team of expert doctors, paramedics and pilots who are dedicated to providing London with world-class medical care when a life is on the line. Traumatic injury is the biggest killer of those under 45 in London and every day six people in the city are so critically injured they need the complex procedures only we can provide. Thanks to your time and support, on the worst day of someone’s life, our medics can provide hope for the patient and their loved ones. Our volunteers are key to supporting our fundraising efforts, helping us increase our reach across the communities of London. From taking part in bucket collections, placing collection pots in local businesses, speaking to community groups, volunteering in our shop and our office and much, much more, there are a variety of ways to get involved.
