Essex & Herts Air Ambulance (EHAAT) is once again spreading festive cheer across the UK, while reminding everyone that Santa isn’t the only one taking to the skies this holiday season.

Thanks to the continued generosity of partner Woodland Group, an independent global logistics provider, EHAATs heartwarming Christmas message is travelling far and wide on a special promotional lorry – raising awareness of the life-saving charity while sharing the spirit of the season.

EHAAT is inviting members of the public to join in the festive fun by keeping an eye out for the lorry, snapping a photo (safely), and sharing it on social media. To take part, simply tag @EHAAT_ and include your location – a cheerful nod to the iconic “Holidays are Coming” tradition.

The festive season is a time for kindness and community spirit, and as a charity, EHAAT relies entirely on donations to keep its critical care teams operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including Christmas Day.

This year’s festive fundraising campaign, proudly sponsored by Woodland Group, is packed with ways to get involved. From Lights for Flights, where supporters light up their homes in dazzling displays to other joyful community fundraisers such as pub quizzes and Brew for the Crew mince pie coffee mornings, there are plenty of ways to help keep EHAAT flying this Christmas.

Stacey Wilson, EHAAT Fundraising Manager, said:

“This Christmas, we’re celebrating the incredible generosity of our supporters and partners like Woodland Group, who make our life-saving work possible. The festive season is a special time to come together, have fun, and make a lasting difference for a charity that’s here for you all year round.”

John Stubbings, Group Director at Woodland Group, added:

“Woodland Group is proud to once again support Essex & Herts Air Ambulance Trust (EHAAT) this festive season. Their unwavering dedication to saving lives and delivering critical care is truly inspiring. In the spirit of giving, we are pleased to contribute to their life-saving mission, helping ensure vital support is available to our community all year round. We wish the incredible team at EHAAT, and everyone in our community, a safe and joyful Christmas.”

Whether it’s spotting the festive lorry or hosting a local fundraising event, EHAAT is counting on its community to help keep its life-saving service flying this Christmas.
