On Board With Us

Thank you to everyone who donated to add your name – or the name of someone special – to one of our helicopters or critical care cars.

Every day, our helicopters take off, and our critical care cars hit the road to reach people in life-threatening situations across the North West. But this lifesaving service doesn’t exist without you.

We are thrilled to announce your chosen name or names are now on our helicopter and car.

They will be proudly displayed for a full year, travelling with our crew on every mission. This is more than a donation. You’re right there with us – for every mile, every patient, and every life-changing moment.

From all of us at the charity, we want to say a huge thank you for your support and commitment. Carrying your chosen name is an honour and deeply meaningful to us all.

Thank you for being On Board With Us.

A special thank you from the crew

Here’s how your £50 gift could help

We wouldn’t be here without you. Your generosity funds our life-changing and lifesaving service. By getting On Board With Us, your minimum £50 donation can make a big impact. Here’s a couple of ways we could use your donation and help patients across the North West.

Register your interest

£50 could buy

a rapid sequence induction drug set. This set of drugs is essential to be able to put a patient in an induced coma, protecting their brain and allowing us to manage their breathing.

£50 could fund

a critical care car for five days. Your donation could help us reach patients when they need us most.

On Board With Us will be back later this year.

If you missed out last time or want to continue to be with us on our missions, register today to be the first to know when the campaign is back. We’ll be emailing all supporters who register before the campaign is public, and with limited space on the helicopter, don’t miss the chance to secure your place.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can dedicate a name to anyone – yourself, a loved one, a friend, or in memory of someone special. Names are capped at 30 characters each, including any spaces.

We are unable to accept sentences, special characters (for example,!*#&@), emojis, political statements, or offensive language.
Names must be an individual and cannot be a company/business, a group name, a charity, clubs or have the names of multiple individuals (i.e. John and Joan Smith).

We can only accept one full name per donation (this can include a title, forename, middle name(s) and surname within 30 characters).

Multiple individual names can be added but would require an additional donation per person. For example, Mr John Edward Smith would be accepted, but John and Joan Smith wouldn’t be.

If you would like to submit multiple names, you can do so online or contact our Supporter Engagement team on 0800 587 4570. If you submit more than one name, we cannot guarantee that they will appear next to each other on the vehicle.

It is the responsibility of the person submitting the name to ensure accuracy.

However, if you notice an error when you receive your certificate, please contact our Supporter Engagement team on 0800 587 4570 or email enquiries@nwairambulance.org.uk within seven days of receiving your certificate. We will do our best to accommodate changes, however we cannot guarantee this.

Of course! We welcome any additional amount over the minimum requirement of £50 for submitting a name.

The minimum donation is to ensure NWAA can cover the costs of adding the names to the helicopters, and so as much funds as possible go back to our lifesaving services. Unfortunately, you cannot Gift Aid this as we are requesting a minimum donation amount.  

When donating and submitting your selected name, you will be asked if you have a preference whether your submitted name appears on a helicopter or a critical care vehicle.

NWAA will make every effort to apply this preference however, we cannot guarantee that the submitted name will be placed in the preferred location due to the availability of space.

The printing areas of the helicopter are the blue chevrons on the underside of the aircraft.

The printing area of the critical care vehicle is located on the roof of the vehicle.

Your submitted name will appear on the vehicle for a minimum of 12 months.

NWAA may photograph and video the aircraft for use in media releases, publications, social media, our website, and third-party media. While individual names won’t be highlighted, supporters understand and accept that their submitted name(s) may be identifiable from the design.
