Charity, Westpac Helicopter Trust - Hawkes Bay
New Zealand’s rescue helicopters provide a vital safety net for all people. Performing thousands of missions every year and operating nationwide through 15 local rescue helicopter services, many of the rescue choppers act as flying intensive care units. Along with remote rescue, the highly trained specialist crews have been called upon to perform critical hospital transfers, attend emergency births, and respond to car and boating accidents. In fact they may attend any type of emergency where rapid response or difficult location is a factor. And they’ll do this any time of the day or night, every day of the year, right across the country. We raise over $1 million every year for rescue helicopters around New Zealand with all donations being distributed back to the 15 rescue chopper services across the country, meaning money raised locally, stays local.
