Please visit the Yorkshire Air Ambulance Charity website to find out more information about the sterling work they do and if you can, make a donation that would be blooming marvellous! Not many people realise that they are in fact a Charity and solely rely on money raised to operate so they need all the support you can give.

"The Yorkshire Air Ambulance is an independent charity providing a life saving rapid response emergency service to 5 million people across Yorkshire. We fly seven days a week, 365 days a year, covering a vast landscape that not only includes major cities and motor ways, but also rural and isolated locations.

To keep providing this life saving service the charity needs to raise £7200 per day to keep both of Yorkshire’s Air Ambulances maintained and in the air. The generosity that we receive is the life blood of the charity and with out this generosity, we would not be able to provide the service that we are so proud of."

Let's hear it for the Helicopter Heroes!

Bog Books Ltd are proud to be affiliated with the Yorkshire Air Ambulance Charity and are doing their bit to keep this amazing group of people going. YAA save lives all over Yorkshire, and sometimes beyond, and their tireless effort should not go unnoticed. Bog Books Ltd donate money from the profits of every single copy of the "Yorkshire Pudding 'n' All That Tripe" book to the charity and also donate profits from every "Bog Books Map of Yorkshire" and every giclee print from the book!

We visited YAA in August to discuss our involvement with them and saw first hand how speedy their response time was. They got called out as we were chatting out in the hangar. These guys are truly brilliant at their jobs and deserve every credit they get. As you can tell from the photo below the cups of tea get left standing from time to time too!

We created a page in the "Yorkshire Pudding 'n' All That Tripe" book especially for the YAA which has been recieved very well so have a look out in the book for it.

On Monday 5th October the third series of the BBC1 documentary series "Helicopter Heroes" began. The series runs weekdays for four weeks airing at 9.15am. Watch the crew of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance helicopters as they fly across the region helping to save lives.
