As a Welsh company based in Swansea, we’re deeply connected to the communities we serve across Wales, and we’re incredibly proud to support an organisation that embodies the very essence of what it means to save lives: the Wales Air Ambulance charity.
A lifesaving mission above Wales
Since its launch in 2001, Wales Air Ambulance has become an indispensable lifeline for people across our nation. This remarkable all-Wales charity provides critical care 24 hours a day, seven days a week, reaching those suffering life or limb-threatening injuries or illnesses when every second counts. With over 52,000 missions completed to date and an impressive 3,635 missions undertaken in 2024 alone, the impact of this organisation cannot be overstated.
What makes Wales Air Ambulance truly exceptional is their ability to bring the emergency department directly to the patient. Their highly skilled critical care practitioners deliver hospital-standard treatments at the scene of accidents and medical emergencies, often in the most challenging circumstances imaginable. Whether it’s a catastrophic road traffic collision on a remote Welsh mountainside or a serious industrial accident in an urban setting, the Wales Air Ambulance team ensures that advanced medical care reaches patients when they need it most.
More than just emergency response
The Wales Air Ambulance service extends far beyond the initial emergency response. Their comprehensive approach includes advanced decision-making on scene, ensuring patients are taken to the most appropriate hospital for their specific injury or illness. Perhaps most importantly, their aftercare service means that support doesn’t end once patients reach hospital – they continue to provide assistance throughout the recovery process, demonstrating a genuine commitment to patient wellbeing that resonates with our own values at Huvo.
A charity that depends on community support
Operating this life-saving service comes at a significant cost – £11.2 million annually to keep the helicopters in the air and rapid response vehicles on the road. What many people don’t realise is that Wales Air Ambulance does not receive any government funding for its day-to-day operations. This remarkable service exists entirely because of the generosity and support of individuals, businesses, and organisations across Wales who recognise the vital role it plays in our communities.
