Throughout the pandemic, our crews continue to provide vital pre-hospital care to critically ill patients in emergency life-threatening situations. From delivering urgent medical interventions at the roadside, to supporting the NHS on the frontline running an inter-hospital transfer service – making a difference to Covid-19 patients across the region.
We’ve seen our stores close, fundraising events cancelled, and the pandemic has put our charity under significant financial strain.
Charity-funded, we rely on your generosity to fund our service and ensure that we can be there for those who need us most.
Make a lifesaving difference, and donate today.
Your support can secure the future of our lifesaving service
In January last year Jake Cowen, 27 from Oldham, was window cleaning at a property in Warrington with his co-worker and dad Chris. Jake fell from his ladder landing badly on the ground causing him to go into cardiac arrest.
Due to the severity of his condition of his condition North West Air Ambulance Charity (NWAA) arrived on scene, providing advanced medical care which helped saved Jake’s life.
Our crew continued to treat Jake in a land ambulance during his journey to hospital where he spent four weeks recovering in the critical care unit. With the exemption of a small amount of short-term memory loss Jake is now well and back working with his dad.
Melanie, Jake’s mum, credits NWAA for saving her son’s life: “As a family we now support NWAA. Previously we did not realise, ashamedly so, that they operate as a charity. In the future, I’d like to do some fundraising events and sponsored runs to raise some money – we are forever in their debt. Jake owes his life to the North West Air Ambulance Charity.”
