Inclusive Boards is delighted to be supporting Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance in their search for three new Trustees.
About Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance
The Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance (LNAA) is one of the UK’s leading Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) charities, providing rapid, life-saving critical care across Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our Helicopter and Critical Care Cars take the expertise of the hospital directly to the scene of the emergency, reaching any point in our two counties in under 20 minutes. Each mission costs approximately £4,000, and with over 32,000 missions since our founding in 1994, our service is made possible entirely through the generosity of the communities we serve.
LNAA is in a period of significant growth and transformation. We celebrated our 30th anniversary and our 30,000th mission in 2024 and were rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission in 2025 – a milestone that reflects the exceptional standards across our entire organisation. Looking ahead, our five-year strategy focuses on expanding our service further, including the introduction of a second helicopter in 2027 to ensure we can be by the side of even more patients when they need us most.

Could you be a Cry-sis Helpline Listener?
Do you know, or could you imagine what it’s like to have a baby who just won’t stop crying?
An exhausting, overwhelming feeling - and the desperate wish that someone who *gets it* would pick up the phone?
That’s exactly what our Helpline Listeners provide. And if you’ve been there yourself or could imagine how exhausted a parent feels, you might be just the person a struggling parent needs to hear from.
What you’ll be doing
Taking calls from parents and carers at the end of their tether, offering a kind ear, non-judgemental support, and safe, practical guidance - all from the comfort of your own home, in your own time.
We’re looking for people who
- Are warm, empathetic listeners who can help someone feel heard.
- Can volunteer their time, at times that suit their schedule.
- Are committed to supporting families without judgement.
Maybe you have direct experience of a baby that just won’t stop crying, maybe you have seen how it impacted someone close to you.
Above all we need you to care, to be understanding, and to be patient.
What you’ll get from us
- Training using our comprehensive online training, with phone-based role play sessions to assess how you’re getting on.
- An experienced buddy when you first join.
- Ongoing support so you never feel alone in the role.
- A free to use, online or telephone based call system which keeps you and callers safe.
- A group of trustees who are keen to hear and act on any suggestions to improve the charity.
- The knowledge that your experience is genuinely helping other families through one of the hardest times of their lives.
