Lace up your hiking boots, grab your friends and family. It’s time for Heli Hike in Kent. Hike through the countryside, stride for the skies, and support your local air ambulance charity.

This year, we’re excited to introduce a fantastic Family Fun Day. During this event, you can meet other emergency services, have fun with your loved ones, and learn about our lifesaving work before and after your hike.

Last year, nearly 800 people in Kent relied on our swift care and expertise. From road collisions to cardiac arrests and strokes. When there’s a life-or-death call, we bring specialised doctors, paramedics and treatment to the scene, fast. And we don’t stop. 24/7, 365 days a year.
