YOUR LEGACY

Support tomorrow's lifesaving missions, today

By leaving a gift in your will to Magpas Air Ambulance, you can help keep our air ambulance flying for generations to come. The missions our crew respond to tomorrow are made possible by the support we receive today, and a gift in your will means future patients will still get lifesaving care when they need it most.

Big or small, your legacy will power tomorrow’s missions by keeping our helicopter in the air, our rapid response vehicles on the road, and our doctors and paramedics equipped for the next emergency call.   

A gift in your will to Magpas Air Ambulance ensures this vital service is here for generations to come, saving lives and giving families more tomorrows together.

Make your gift today, and support lifesaving missions tomorrow.

Mighty oaks from little acorns grow

Magpas Air Ambulance started life in 1971 with doctors attending the scenes of road traffic accidents across Cambridgeshire in order to provide much-needed lifesaving emergency medical care. As a volunteer-led charity, it was a gift in a will that enabled Magpas Air Ambulance to buy the essential equipment needed to establish this pioneering service.

We can only continue to bring the very best pre-hospital emergency care because of our supporters’ incredible generosity.

Gifts in wills have helped the charity to develop into a 24/7 service, treating patients across 13 counties in the East of England and serving a population of over 10 million.

In the past four years, gifts in wills have raised nearly £2 million and are vital to the development and continued operation of the charity. In that crucial moment of need, a legacy left to Magpas Air Ambulance could provide critical lifesaving care to a patient who, quite simply may not survive without them.

YOUR LEGACY

Types of gifts in wills

There are three main ways to leave a gift in your will:

  • A residuary gift: a share, or all, of what is left of your estate once your loved ones have been looked after
  • A pecuniary gift: a fixed sum of money
  • A specific gift: a particular item, such as property or shares

Your solicitor can help you decide what is right for you. A gift of any size makes a difference.
