Surrey air ambulance is asking for help to keep operational following unprecedented fuel price increases.

The Kent, Surrey and Sussex air ambulance charity say they’ve seen a 63 percent rise in fuel costs since the start of the war in Iran.

The charity is now facing increased costs of £25,000 a month to operate its helicopters, putting additional pressure on its financial sustainability.

On average the helicopters respond to around nine emergencies a day across the region, covering incidents such as cardiac arrests through to road traffic collisions and rely heavily on donations from the public to keep going.
