Organiser Nikki Caborn will be collecting cash and volunteers.
The team from the Hertfordshire Air Ambulance Appeal will touch down in The Harlequin shopping centre in Watford next week to raise money and recruit volunteers.
Appeal co-ordinator Nikki Caborn is looking for volunteers who can help raise money for the appeal and has a whole host of jobs they can perform.
She is looking for volunteers to look after collection tins that will be appearing in pubs, shops, clubs and offices throughout the district; advocates who can represent the appeal and talk about it to clubs, groups and societies; people who can attend public fundraising events as a representative of the appeal; and those who can sell Herts Air Ambulance fundraising merchandise.
She said: "The benefits to becoming an ambassador for the Herts Appeal mean you get to become part of a motivated team. It's a chance for you to give something back and in the process you get to meet like-minded people from your county.
"Fundraising with the Herts Air Ambulance is fun and most importantly you are helping to save lives.
"Whatever your age or experience, if you want to become part of the team we would love to hear from you."

Launched in April 2007, the Hertfordshire Air Ambulance Appeal currently stands at almost £210,000 but £250,000 is needed before organisers can start thinking about chartering a suitable air ambulance and finding a permanent base for it.
Ironically, considering the county's affluence, Hertfordshire is one of the last counties in the UK without its own air ambulance coverage.
Accident victims within this county have to rely on the goodwill and freetime of neighbouring air ambulances in times of emergency.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer or want to donate, visit the team in The Harlquin outside Primark on the first floor during trading hours on Friday, April 18.
Alternatively visit HertsAirAmbulance.uk.com, email Herts@ehaat.uk.com or telephone Nikki Caborn on 0845 2417690.
Donations can also be sent to Herts Air Ambulance Appeal c/o Watford Observer, Observer House, Caxton Way, Watford, WD18 8RJ.
