St Vianney’s Matched Giving

For every gift donated to the Westpac Rescue Helicopter’s Mission 2026 campaign, St Vianney’s Timaru Trust will match it dollar for dollar up to the value of $100,000.

“We really hope that this match fund gift will inspire residents and business owners to collectively support our Westpac Rescue Helicopter service. We never know when we might need their help, and it brings peace of mind to know that this 24/7 service provides speed and access when it is needed the most,” says Dale Walden, Trustee of St. Vianney’s Timaru Trust.

Training

Ongoing training is essential to ensure the crew are competent and confident when they are called out.

By giving access to higher levels of training, along with the best equipment, we give patients the highest chance of positive outcomes.

The Four Pillars

The four MISSION 2026 projects are interrelated, so we need to secure the total funding to reap the full rewards of the combined initiatives and save more lives.
