Every year, the North West Air Ambulance (NWAA) responds to thousands of missions, providing critical care to some of the most seriously ill or injured patients across the region – bringing hospital-level care directly to the scene.
But we are entirely charity funded, and rely on the generosity of our supporters.
We are inviting Civic and Metro Mayors across the North West to make NWAA their chosen charity partner during their year in office – helping to care for local people and strengthen community resilience.
The Mayor’s Local Lives Partnership is a year-long civic charity partnership designed to:
Although the campaign is time-bound, the outcomes are not – your support will make a lasting impact and could help save a life in your community in the future.
At the heart of the partnership is Mayor’s Mission Month — a dedicated month of fundraising and awareness activity across your borough to help fund a mission.
During this time, schools, businesses, community groups and residents are invited to take part in simple fundraising activities, championed by your civic leadership. NWAA provides a complete campaign toolkit and structured support, making participation straightforward for your office and accessible for your community.
We deliver a fully supported partnership package, including:
This partnership is designed to fit around your civic commitments – a high-support, low-commitment model delivered by NWAA.
If you would like to make the North West Air Ambulance Charity your chosen charity partner during your year in office, we would be proud to work alongside you.

When serious incidents happen, minutes matter. Your support helps ensure we can continue to respond when your community needs us most.

“Over the past two years, it has been a privilege to partner with the North West Air Ambulance Charity (NWAA). I chose to support this incredible organisation because of the lifesaving impact they have across our entire region every single day.
“Having visited their base personally, I have seen firsthand the skill, dedication, and precision of the crews. However, what many don’t realise is that this vital service is funded entirely by public donations—they receive no core funding from the NHS or the government.
“Without our collective support, these helicopters simply wouldn’t stay in the air. I encourage my fellow Mayors and Deputy Mayors to consider a partnership with NWAA; it is a powerful way to give back to a service that protects all of our constituents in their most critical moments.”
