Life Flight

Each week 28 people need time-critical aeromedical care. With your support, the Westpac Rescue Helicopter and Air Ambulance Planes are there in their moment of need.

Westpac Chopper Street Appeal

Calling all volunteers!

On Thursday, May 8, hundreds of volunteers will hit the streets across Wellington, Kāpiti Coast, Wairarapa, and Marlborough to support Life Flight — and we’d love for you to join us!

By volunteering just a few hours of your time, you’ll help raise vital funds to keep the Westpac Chopper flying and saving lives in our community. You’ll also have the chance to:

  • Connect with your local community — you might even hear incredible stories from people whose lives have been touched by Life Flight.
  • Help spread the word about the Westpac Rescue Helicopter and the lifesaving work it does.
  • Make a real difference by raising the critical funds that keep our crews in the air.

Last year, tens of thousands of dollars were raised thanks to people like you. This year, with your help, we’re aiming even higher!

Ready to join the team?
Sign up now, and we’ll be in touch with everything you need to know!

Thank you for helping us save lives — we can’t wait to see you on May 8!
