Leave a Gift in your Will
By leaving a bequest in your will, you are investing in the wellbeing and safety of your family and the generations that will follow them. Bequests can be made in the form of specific dollar amounts, other kinds of property, a percentage of the estate, or all or a portion of what remains after you have provided for your family.
If you have an existing Will and wish to alter it in order to leave a bequest, all you need to do is make an amendment called a codicil. To add a codicil, download the Codicil Form here and take it to your solicitor.
All bequests are treated with confidentiality. For more information on Bequests please contact:

Corporate Sponsorship
Rescue helicopters have some of the highest media profiles of any community emergency service. Association with the service ensures frequent positive public recognition and there are many opportunities to be involved in promotional events that can maximise commercial exposure.
At every opportunity the rescue helicopter endeavours, particularly in co-operation with its media sponsors, to acknowledge the role of all sponsors.
Interested companies should call the Base Manager on 0274 933 141.

Community Fundraising
Community funding is always gratefully received - the rescue helicopter trust welcomes any suggestions to get involved with community interaction and fundraising.
