Every day of the year the North West Air Ambulance Charity operates two helicopters that fly to people with life-threatening injuries or illnesses. The charity receives almost no mainstream funding and costs nearly £4 million a year to keep flying and saving lives.
There are a variety of ways in which you can raise money to ensure that we can continue to provide Care from the Air. See below for details of our most popular fundraising activities.
- Alternative Gift - You could request donations instead of gifts for an anniversary, birthday, Christmas or wedding.
- Have a Brew @ 2 and help the crew! Why not host a tea party at 2pm and ask your guests to make a donation to our charity?
- Hold a BBQ or buffet for friends - they'll be happy to make a donation and eat as much as they can!
- Have a spring clean and sell your unwanted items on Ebay with the proceeds going towards your fundraising.
- Lottery Bonus Ball - Participants pay £1 each and select a number (1-49). If that number comes up as the Wednesday Bonus Ball, they receive a share of the profits (e.g. if you sell all 49 numbers the winner receives £25 and the remaining £24 goes to the charity!).
- Find out if your employer has a matched-funding scheme. Many companies will match £1 for £1 (up to a set amount) for employees who take part in fundraising for charity.
- Night in for Charity - stay in for an evening you'd normally go out and donate the money saved to the charity.
- Still got a full head of hair? Shave it off for the NWAA! Or, for the not so brave, try a beard or moustache instead!
Contact us to arrange a speaker from NWAA to come and give an interesting talk to a group of your choice.
