The Worshipful Company of Tax Advisers

The Tax Advisers’ Charitable Trust and the London Air Ambulance

The Tax Advisers’ Charitable Trust (TACT) is a general charitable fund which supports tax charities, education, the Lord Mayor’s Appeal and a number of City and Greater London causes.  Amongst these causes we are delighted to be supporters of the London Air Ambulance and the London Air Ambulance’s Up Against Time Appeal.

Every day the London Air Ambulance crew is up against time to save lives in London. Now they are up against time to replace their helicopter fleet in autumn 2024 so that they can keep London’s only air ambulance flying beyond this time. Almost all of the funding required to run the service and replace the fleet comes from charities, private individuals, the general public and businesses.

TACT’s support will help the London Air Ambulance service to safeguard its 24/7 service for the 10 million people of London. They expect to treat more than 25,000 patients between 2024 –2039* – the expected lifespan of the new helicopters – improving their life-chances after serious injury.

Bob Harland, Master of the Worshipful Company of Tax Advisers and Lorraine Parkin, Chair of the Charities’ Committee were privileged to be given a tour of the London Air Ambulance’s base at The Royal London Hospital on 8 May 2023. They have nothing but admiration for the work and dedication of the crews who save so many lives.

TACT hopes to be able to donate further to the Up Against Time Appeal. If you would like any information on how to make donations to this appeal via TACT, or would like to be put in contact with the fund raisers at the London Air Ambulance to make a personal donation, please do not hesitate to contact Lorraine Parkin @ [email protected]
