![]() The London Air Ambulance: https://www.londonsairambulance.org.uk Registered Charity 801013 London's Air Ambulance is the charity that delivers an advanced trauma team to London's most seriously injured patients. Using a helicopter from 08:00 to sunset, and rapid response cars at night or in adverse weather situations, London's Air Ambulance brings the hospital to the patient when time is critical. We perform innovative and potentially life-saving procedures usually found in the emergency department on-scene. The team, consisting of an advanced trauma doctor, paramedic and consultant on most missions, can perform treatments such as open heart surgery, blood transfusions and general anaesthetic by the roadside. By providing intervention as quickly as possible after injury, we aim to give patients the best chance of survival, and best quality of life, after trauma. We serve the 10 million people that live work and travel within the M25, treating an average of five patients every day. The most common incidents we attend include road traffic collisions, stabbings and shootings, falls from height and incidents on the rail network. |
![]() Arts 4 Dementia: arts4dementia.org.uk Arts engagement is the best medicine for dementia! Arts 4 Dementia offers challenging workshop programmes with arts organisations for people in the early stages of dementia and their carers. The A4D website provides the only national listing of arts events accessible for people living with dementia, enabling them to find stimulating opportunities nearby; and they train arts facilitators from all around the country in early stage dementia awareness. The almost 700 trained to date will deliver arts events to over 13,000 people with dementia and carers in the coming years. A4D focuses on what people can achieve, often very much more than they imagine. Recent workshop programmes have included Ceramics at the Garden Museum, Poetry at the National Poetry Library (Southbank Centre), Ballet at the Royal Opera House (with the assistance of a dancer from the Royal Ballet) and Scriptwriting at the Royal Court Theatre. Typically, these are 8-10 week pilot programmes and many are then continued without the direct involvement of A4D. A4D is currently delivering a Textile Design programme with Rosetta Arts and the Newham Community Renewal Programme. We never cease to be amazed by the creativity of our participants – who just happen to have dementia. A4D is this year (2019) a Co-op local cause. If you shop there, please become a member and select us as your cause. A4D is a Registered Charity No 1140842 |
