What a fantastic evening we had last night raising over $150,000 for the Canterbury Westpac Rescue Helicopters. A huge thank you to everyone who supported the event - the bidders, the donors and the participants. We can't wait to have the official photos through so we can share the evening with you but for now, enjoy this taster.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible - those who went out with the buckets to collect and those who donated to the service. We are honoured to have raised $258,424 in the Canterbury West Coast region.
Thank you Aotearoa! Together with help from all across the country, we raised over $1.4 million for the Westpac Chopper Appeal this year. 🙏 🚁 From all of us here at Westpac, the hard-working chopper crew, and from those patients and their families who know first-hand the life saving work of the choppers - thank you. Because when you need it, there is no greater sound. #ChopperAppealNZ #TogetherGreater Catherine McGrath Sarah Hearn Reuben Tucker Helen Ryder Todd Johnstone Hannah Oakden Olivia Munro-Goodey Georgia Ellis Toni Kane Amber Bakker Nileema Allerston Sarah Wall Max Bania Hayley Thom

We are incredibly proud and excited today to announce that Westpac Rescue Helicopter has been named New Zealand’s Most Trusted charity brand, and third most trusted brand overall, in the 2024 in a Reader’s Digest survey. When you consider the size and scope of the charity sector in New Zealand and the amazing charities working here, this is an achievement that we are grateful to receive from the New Zealand public. Thank you to everyone who voted for us and everyone who continues to support our work every day of every week of every year. Congratulations also to the other trusts operating under the Westpac Rescue Helicopter brand – Auckland Rescue, Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter, and Life Flight (Wellington). GCH Aviation

We shared a clip from this video last week but here is the whole thing. It isn't long and it really shows the value of the Rescue Helicopter to everyone.

Ngā mihi Libbie Faith, it is great to have you on the team! "In August, Libbie (Kāi Tahu, Ngāti Kahungunu) landed a job with Westpac Rescue Helicopter based at GCH Aviation in Christchurch; it’s a job she loves and it has focused her sights on the bigger picture of creating better health outcomes for Māori in Aotearoa." https://lnkd.in/gXny7nFR #rescuehelicopters #paramedics #lifesaving #Māori

What an amazing viewpoint of our crew doing some of their training. Thank you Lyttelton Port Company for your assistance and for capturing this fantastic footage.
LPC participated in a training exercise with Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust, where they practiced winching people from our tugs. We're proud to support both the Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust directly and help with the training of this service that is a vital part of our community.
