Flying to Save Lives

NW AIr Ambulance Helicopter

25th Birthday

The 19th May marks our 25th birthday! Since 1999 we’ve been there for patients across the North West. Help us continue to be there.

Words can’t express how grateful I am to the North West Air Ambulance Charity. Without them I would undoubtedly have either lost my leg or worse, died.
