About North West Air Ambulance

We're a lifesaving and life-changing charity in the North West of England.

Our crews bring enhanced pre-hospital care and medical interventions to the scene, giving patients the best chance, often where seconds can mean the difference between life and death.
With three helicopters and four critical care cars, we operate day and night, 365 days a year, and serve the largest population in the UK, outside of London, but it costs £18 million annually to keep us in the air and on the road.
And here’s the challenge: we receive no government or NHS funding. Every mission we fly is funded entirely by the generosity of our supporters.
