We are very excited to be launching our brand new appeal today: The Helipad Appeal.

The “Saving Time, Saving Lives” campaign is kicking off today with a launch at the Northern General Hospital – the site where the new helipad will be built.

The appeal is being launched to raise funds to build a new helipad right outside the A&E department which will mean that patients requiring life-saving treatment at the Major Trauma Centre (MTC) will receive it within seconds of landing, saving valuable time as every second can be crucial when dealing with major trauma injuries.

The project will cost around £2 million to complete however, more than £1.4 million has already pledged or committed including £900,000 from the County Air Ambulance Trust, which exists to help fund helipads. This leaves £585,000 to be raised.
