Supporting Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance

As part of our Strive for 25 campaign, Foray Motor Group is proud to be raising awareness and funds for the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance – a life-saving emergency service that receives no direct government or NHS funding.

This vital charity depends entirely on public donations to continue saving lives across the South West. Every second counts in an emergency, and Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance (DSAA) delivers expert critical care when it matters most.

What Does Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance Do?

DSAA provides an outstanding Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) across Dorset and Somerset, 19 hours a day, 365 days a year. Their team of highly skilled critical care practitioners, paramedics and doctors bring the hospital to the patient, delivering rapid response, life-saving interventions at the scene, and swift transport to specialist hospitals.

Whether it’s a road traffic collision, cardiac arrest, or serious trauma, DSAA is often the difference between life and death.

The True Cost of Saving Lives

With zero government or NHS funding, the charity relies on donations to cover every aspect of their service:

  • Each life-saving mission costs around £3,500
  • It costs over £10,000 a day to keep the service operational
  • To fund the helicopter for an entire year requires £4 million+ annually
  • The team completes over 2,500 life-saving missions each year

Your support helps keep this essential service flying and ready to respond to emergencies across some of the most rural, isolated, and challenging locations in the region.

Foray Motor Group x Strive for 25

Through our Strive for 25 initiative, we’re championing Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance by organising dealership events and activities across our Ford locations in Yeovil, Taunton, Salisbury, and beyond. From charity test drives and raffles to bake sales, auctions, and community fundraising days, every effort helps fund the fuel, equipment, and team that powers each flight.
