Last-minute but full of heart: a unique gift you can order today from the North West Air Ambulance Charity

This Christmas, the North West Air Ambulance Charity (NWAA) is giving people the chance to choose a gift that’s both unique and life-changing – and you can organise it online in minutes.

The charity’s new On Board with Us campaign invites supporters to add a name - their own or someone they love - to one of NWAA’s helicopters or critical care cars for a full year. It’s an unusual and heartfelt present, perfect for those tricky-to-buy-for friends and family, and ideal for anyone looking for a meaningful, last-minute option.

For a donation of £50 or more, supporters can submit a name of up to 30 characters and will receive a personalised certificate and thank-you letter to wrap and place under the tree. It’s a simple way to give something truly memorable, while helping to fund NWAA’s lifesaving work across the region.

Names will be added from spring 2026 and will travel with NWAA’s specialist crews on every mission – a quiet but powerful reminder of the difference each supporter makes.

Kelly Thomson, Individual Giving Officer, said: “This is a beautiful way to do something good at Christmas. Knowing that your name, or the name of someone you care about, is with our crews as they respond to emergencies across the North West is incredibly special.”

Spaces are limited and submissions close on 4 January 2026. To receive certificates in time for Christmas, call 0800 587 4570 or visit nwairambulance.org.uk/on-board-with-us. Terms and conditions apply, the last day for posting is the 17th December.
