Host a festive fundraiser
This December, join us for a seven-day sing-along celebration, a week of music, laughter, and community spirit, all in aid of saving lives across the North West.
Whether you’re part of a choir, a band, a school group, or just love a good carol sing-along, your tunes can help keep our crews responding to emergencies.
This Christmas and beyond, your musical fundraiser can help fuel the next mission and ensure our service continues into 2026.
So warm up those vocal cords, dust off the jingle bells, and get ready to dance, play, or sing your heart out — because every note you make means we can be there for patients.
In 2024, we attended 3,170 missions across the region, and our crew will continue to be there all throughout Christmas and the New Year.
So, whether you choose to sing, dance, or play an instrument, your fundraiser can fuel our next mission and keep our charity operational into 2026.

How your fundraising helps
Nicola, 38, was visiting the local Christmas lights switch-on with her family. As she was putting her daughter, Emily, into her car seat, Nicola collapsed. She was unresponsive and had stopped breathing.
What was a Christmas tradition for their family had become a nightmare. Nicola’s husband, Ben, began performing CPR. Within minutes, members of the public offered their help. When the paramedics arrived, they gave shocks via a defibrillator to try and restart her heart.
Nicola was still unresponsive when our crew arrived. They administered a further shock as Nicola had an extremely rare heart rhythm. Her heart briefly started, and then a second cardiac arrest followed. She required a further shock, and after a brief round of CPR, her heart started beating again.
The charity’s critical care paramedics were then able to give Nicola drugs to sedate her and protect her brain function as they accompanied her in the ambulance to hospital. Without their lifesaving intervention, Nicola wouldn’t have survived.
