In June 2007, a group of business men and women from Surrey came together to plan a spectacular ball in aid of Surrey Air Ambulance. The Air Aid Ball at Henhaw Farm near Redhill Aerodrome, raised over £56,000 and was a night to remember!

Following its success, and by popular demand, a second Air Aid Ball is being planned for 2009. Next years event will be held at Redhill Aerodrome on Saturday 20^th June, and to mark the 70^th anniversary of the WWII the event will have a 1940’s theme.

Chris and Caroline Martin, who hosted last years Ball and head the 2009 committee, said “We have some fantastic plans ahead and with the help and support of past and new sponsors we hope very much to raise even more money for the Air Ambulance. It is a fantastic service which any one of us could need one day. We all walk, cycle and find ourselves in places of difficult access, let alone being on any one of our roads. Transportation to hospital by Air Ambulance is life saving due to its capacity for speed. The cost to keep the Helicopter in the air is immense and there is no Government funding’.
