How you can support

The Hawke’s Bay Helicopter Rescue Trust greatly appreciates all donations received from individuals, businesses and sponsors.   With no direct government funding we rely upon the support of the Hawke’s Bay community to operate the service.  This raises over 60% of the operation budget each year from the community (not a small task).

The support received from the community allows the Trust to offer a 24 hour 7 days a week rescue helicopter service, free of charge, to everyone in the Hawke’s Bay.

Your contribution really does make a difference!
