How you can help us

We’ll join forces to create a partnership that is mutually beneficial and ensures that you get the most out of your time working with us.

We are passionate about building partnerships which utilise the expertise, knowledge, and experience of both partners and their teams to deliver opportunities and benefits for both our charity and your company.

Sponsoring a helicopter or critical care vehicle will ensure your brand is visible on the frontline of our lifesaving operation across the entire North West.

Additionally there are sponsorship packages available for our fundraising events, participant t-shirts, staff conference, Christmas gifts for our clinical crew, and other operational vehicles.

Set up a hassle-free Payroll Giving scheme and show your team that you care about their favourite causes. Employees can donate tax-free, meaning it costs them less to donate. For example, a £10 donation to us will only cost the employee £8. Please visit our Payroll Giving page for employers here to get started. Employees can visit this page to start their own donation.

Choose the North West Air Ambulance Charity as your chosen charity for the year and you will receive dedicated support to engage your team, create a calendar of fundraising activities, promote the partnership, and raise vital funds to keep our crew flying to save lives.

Your team can raise vital funds for our lifesaving work through a huge range of activities.

Take part in an event, arrange a Brew For the Crew, organise your own fundraising at work, sign up for Mission 3.5, or pick your own thing.

Please contact us for more fundraising ideas!

Your team can donate their skills and experience to help our lifesaving charity, as well as meeting new people and having fun in the process.

Bucket collections, event marshalling, helping in the office, or cheering on runners in local events, there’s a variety of ways to get involved throughout the year.

Corporate Partnerships with the North West Air Ambulance Charity can be tailored to your business to ensure you get what you want from the partnership. Some other options for working with us include:

Matched funding
Boost your impact on the charity and encourage staff engagement by offering to match whatever your employees raise for the North West Air Ambulance Charity. If one of your team runs a half marathon and raises £250 in sponsorship, the company adds a further £250 and doubles the amount raised for lifesaving care.
Gifts in Kind
Could your company donate products or items which we can use to support our work? Whether it’s stock for our shops, a venue for one of our events, a vehicle to support our fundraising operations, or anything else.
Cause-related marketing

Create a mutually-beneficial collaboration with NWAA to increase your business and fund lifesaving care. Make a donation to NWAA for every product sold, agreement signed or customer recruited.
