Saving Lives 24/7

It was the `Last Hurrah` ride for the Ducati Owners (South Island) NZ Club and we`re delighted they called in to see the Westpac Rescue Helicopter crew.

Before they merge with their North Island counterparts, the Club members wanted to donate their local funds to charities that are important to them. Thank you for choosing to support your rescue helicopters.

We promise every dollar you donated will go to work, supporting the crew with specialist training, advanced equipment and state-of-the helicopters so they can provide life-saving care when its needed most.

It`s only been six months, but already we`ve invested $20,000 in clinical training - and we`re not stopping there!

In fact, demand for support from the Jerry Charters Scholarship for Aeromedical Advancement has been so great we`re increasing distributions from the fund for the next 12 months.

From specialist ultrasound training to advanced courses on paediatric life support or complex airway management, we`re investing in the crew, supporting improved patient outcomes, and delivering on our commitment to clinical excellence.

Critical Care Paramedic Scott says it’s a clear example of the rescue helicopter service delivering over and above what it is contracted to provide.

What a stunning way to support the crew!

Every spring, a wonderful couple deliver buckets of daffodils to the GCH Aviation Air Rescue Base. This is just one of many ways they support the rescue helicopter service, and we are incredibly grateful for their ongoing generosity and kindness. Their thoughtful gesture brightens the base, lifts spirits, and serves as a reminder of the strong community standing behind the rescue crews and this life-saving service.
