Yorkshire Air Ambulance
Every penny you save in a Yorkshire Air Ambulance savings account has the potential to save lives.
You'll get an enhanced interest rate, paid annually, and the Air Ambulance is paid a bonus amount, on behalf of account holders. So no matter how much or how little you are able to save, every penny really makes a difference.
"We believe in the Golden Hour. If we can take a patient from accident to medical attention within that period, the chances of recovery are dramatically increased. We now believe in golden pennies and pounds, because your commitment to save for your own future will ensure that ours continues at the same time.
We aim to provide a platinum air ambulance service for Yorkshire and we see our link with Barnsley Building Society as platinum partnership. As we search to strengthen our funding, this affinity account provides benefits for all involved and ultimately saves lives."
Paul Gowland - Director of Fundraising, Yorkshire Air Ambulance
