What a fantastic weekend at The Great British Farm-Fest.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our stall, chatted with us, and took the time to learn more about the Big Bases Appeal. It was brilliant to share why building a new mission-ready base matters, and how it will help keep our crews ready to respond when every second counts.

We also loved seeing so many people take part in our CPR challenge over the weekend — and test whether they could keep CPR going for exactly 2 minutes. It was a great reminder of how vital every second can be in an emergency.

Thank you again to everyone who supported us, and to the organisers for a brilliant event. To learn more about the , visit https://bigbases.uk/BBA

Blood stocks matter. The latest NHS figures show O- at 5.5 days, B- at 6.1 days and AB- at 6.7 days. It’s a useful reminder that blood stock levels can change quickly, and every donation helps keep supply available for patients who need it.

Today we would like to give a huge thank you to all the blood bikers who help supply our charity with blood. We couldn't do what we do without you 💙

We carry blood on our lifesaving missions because it can save precious time when every second counts.

Please consider giving blood and sharing this post to help spread the word: https://airamb.co/GiveBlood
