Learn About KSS
We're your local air ambulance charity
Without you we can't
Welcome to Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex (KSS), where we save lives when every second counts.
We’re a team of skilled, sector-leading experts responding to over 3,300 incidents annually across Kent, Surrey, and Sussex. And we can reach any location within 30 minutes.
Our helicopters are flying emergency rooms. Whether it’s on the road, beach, or park. And we get there, fast. We bring specialised doctors, paramedics and treatment to those who need it most.
From open heart surgery to emergency anaesthesia. We don’t stop. 24/7, 365 days a year.
Your support fuels our lifesaving efforts. Without you, we can’t keep flying. Without you, we can’t save lives.

At Team KSS, we're all lifesavers
Here at Team KSS, we’re all lifesavers. Dispatchers, Doctors, Paramedics, Pilots, Non-clinical Teams, Trustees, and Volunteers – we’re united in our purpose to save lives and ensure the best possible patient outcomes.
- Dispatchers identify which patients need our care the most. They assess over 4,000 calls per shift and ensure our team have all the information they need before arriving on scene.
- Doctors and Paramedics perform lifesaving procedures anywhere – on the road, beach, or park. When every second counts, our expert crews bring immediate lifesaving treatment to the scene. Fast.
- Pilots navigate with precision, getting us where we need to be as quickly and safely as possible.
- Our non-clinical teams work tirelessly behind the scenes, supporting our daily operations, fundraising and engagement activities.
- The leadership and expertise of our Trustees, together with their supportive approach and strategic oversight, enables us to consistently deliver our world-leading service.
- Our team of over 150 volunteers from Kent, Surrey and Sussex, work alongside us to raise awareness and funds for our lifesaving service.
Every member of Team KSS contributes to our lifesaving purpose. And that includes people like you. Without you, none of our work would be possible.
