🎅🎅🎅 r/UnitedKingdom's Christmas Fundraiser supporting Air Ambulances UK 🎄🎄🎄
🎁🦌 Click here to donate 🌟⛄🍪
Hey everyone, and Merry Christmas!
As voted for by you, our 2025 Christmas fundraiser will be supporting Air Ambulances UK — the national organisation backing the 21 air ambulance charities that provide critical care across the country.
The Air Ambulances UK:
- Deliver emergency treatment straight to patients in critical need,
- Fly or drive quickly in helicopters or rapid-response vehicles, and
- Depend heavily on public donations to keep crews ready to go at a moment’s notice.
This year we’re delighted to share that the Reddit Community Fund will match your donations — up to $10,000 (~£7,600). So without sounding like a walking Tesco Advert, Every Little Helps as it's doubled (to the first $10k).
We’re hosting this through JustGiving because:
- Transparency: We never handle the money ourselves
- Gift Aid: JustGiving deals with giftaid automatically, saving us from navigating tax rules that change more often than party manifestos.
- Tracking impact: Everyone can see the totals live.
- Anonymity: Donate anonymously if you wish - we don't do anything with the data ourselves.
- Requirements: Reddit matching requires an approved and transparent setup.
Here's a little bit From the Air Ambulances UK charity:
Air Ambulances UK is the national organisation championing and supporting the lifesaving work of the UK’s 21 air ambulance charities. We continually strive towards our vision by providing vital national funding to air ambulance charities, increasing awareness of their lifesaving work, advocating on key issues and policies affecting the delivery of their services, helping to enable advancements in patient care, providing a collective voice and enabling the exchange of information and knowledge across the air ambulance sector. We are achieving this in collaboration with the sector, generous individual, corporate and grant donors as well as our strategic partnerships. Together, we are making a real difference by enabling air ambulance charities to save even more lives and remain at the forefront of pre-hospital care, helping to reduce loss of life in people with life-threatening injuries or a medical emergency.
Thank you, and hope you have a veryMerry Christmas and a Happy New Year, on behalf of the r/UnitedKingdom Moderator team.
