MEET LIFE SAVING HEROES

Welcome to the Life Saving Heroes zone at CarFest! Meet the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance, who deliver critical care to those in need via helicopter and emergency response vehicles and enjoy activities like helicopter flight simulations and remote control cars. Also, connect with Hampshire Search and Rescue, a volunteer group assisting police in finding vulnerable missing persons. Explore their search equipment and try out rescue skills. Discover the incredible work of these local heroes!

HAMPSHIRE AND ISLE OF WIGHT AIR AMBULANCE

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance is the charity that delivers an advanced Critical Care Team to sick and injured people in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight when they need it most. Using both a helicopter and emergency response vehicle, the Charity brings a team of highly skilled pre-hospital emergency medicine doctors and specialist paramedics to the scene of an incident, effectively bringing the hospital to the patient when time is critical. Called out to an average of six incidents every day, including cardiac arrests, road traffic collisions, falls and assaults, our life-saving service is operational 365 days a year, both day and night.

Come and meet them at their stand where budding pilots can experience the thrill of flying a helicopter with realistic simulations of the physical, visual and auditory sensations of a real flight.

There are also host of other activities such as dressing up, colouring, remote control cars, hook a duck, to name a few!

HAMPSHIRE SEARCH AND RESCUE

Hampshire Search and Rescue (HANTSAR) is a voluntary organisation that started in 2003 which works alongside the police in searches for vulnerable missing persons in Hampshire. They have responded to over 1,000 requests for assistance by the police. HANTSAR is one of many counties based Lowland Search and Rescue units which exist countrywide. Like other units in the country we are affiliated to Lowland Rescue  (Association of Lowland Search and Rescue) which forms part of the UK Search and Rescue Operators Group alongside Mountain Rescue and other organisations.

They're an all-volunteer charity, which provides trained teams to search for vulnerable missing people. At CarFest, they will have a range of search kit for you to handle and try out.

You can also have a go at some of the skills that they use to find and rescue people - they are always on the look-out for new recruits!
