Trustees Week – Showcasing the work of NWAA’s trustees

Published: 4th November 2025

Behind every mission at the North West Air Ambulance Charity is a team of passionate Trustees who help guide our work and ensure we continue to make a difference. They give their time, leadership, insight, and dedication, ensuring the charity operates with integrity, transparency, and care.

Trustees play a vital role in the success of our Charity. They make sure we meet our obligations to the Charity Commission and uphold the highest standards in everything we do. Our Trustees provide accountability and direction, helping us stay true to our mission: to bring advanced pre-hospital care to those who need it most.

Working closely with our executive team, the Board of Trustees helps set the strategic vision for the charity’s future. They look ahead to ensure that we remain sustainable, innovative, and equipped to deliver critical care across the North West for years to come. Their decisions help us adapt and grow, ensuring that we continue to meet the needs of our patients and communities, regardless of the challenges that arise.

Many people choose to become Trustees because they want to utilise their skills and experience for the greater good. It’s a chance to take what you’ve learned in your professional life – whether in finance, healthcare, law, aviation, business, or another field – and apply it to a cause that truly matters. For others, it’s a passion for the charity’s mission that inspires them to get involved. They care deeply about making a difference and want to play an active role in the charity.

They are volunteers who give their time, knowledge, and passion freely, united by a shared goal: to help save lives.

Being a Trustee at the North West Air Ambulance Charity isn’t just about governance or meetings; it’s about being part of something bigger. It’s a role that truly makes a difference, not just to the charity, but to every patient we care for.
