How In Memory giving impacted Pauline

“I originally knew about the North West Air Ambulance Charity through my mum who actively fundraised for them. My late Husband, Phil, was also passionate about the charity after they attended a colleague of his.

At his funeral, I collected donations for the charity. I knew they were close to his heart, and I was happy to choose them for his funeral collections.

I let them know and arranged for a member of their team to come and collect the donations. They offered a personal touch and as we chatted I felt appreciated and cared for. I knew their thanks were genuine and I knew that out of a sad situation, something positive would happen and the donations would make a difference. I felt closer to the charity and more connected.

We also discussed other ways to support the charity, like volunteering and a few months later I signed up. That was over two years ago, and since then I’ve had so many amazing experiences meeting new people, making friends and meeting so many wonderful supporters in my varied volunteering role.
I will always continue to support them.”

Fundraise In Memory

There are many ways you can fundraise In Memory of a loved one. You could join one of our NWAA events or organise your own personal In Memory event. Incorporate their personality into the event or challenge. It could be something they always wanted to do or a hobby they loved. You can make it unique to them.

However you choose to fundraise, you and your loved one will be supporting the vital work of our charity.
