Help the Great North Air Ambulance Service keep doing the work it does by taking part in its prize draw raffle.
The service has experienced one of it’s busiest years on record, and is appealing for the public to help keep them flying by taking part.
The GNAAS responded to 2,083 incidents across the North East, North Yorkshire, Cumbria, Scotland and the Isle of Man in 2024.
Help Out GNAAS
A large percentage of the incidents were traumatic and medical cardiac arrests, followed by road traffic collisions, assaults, and falls.
It is expected that the charity will respond to a similar number of incidents this year and they will need to raise £9.3m to remain operational throughout 2025.
It has launched the Prize Draw Raffle to raise the crucial funds needed to ensure they can continue to provide advanced life-saving treatment to people across the region.
Three local companies have kindly donated raffle prizes which celebrate the region that GNAAS cover, including two getaways, and tickets cost only £1.
Raffle Time
Middleton Lodge are offering a one-night stay at one of their Dairy Hot Tub rooms, including dinner and continental breakfast plus a day retreat at their Forest Spa, which includes a two-hour treatment ritual for each guest, bathing experience, two course lunch and facility use.
The prize is based on two people sharing and is worth £1,200.
A longer break can also be won, courtesy of Tottergill Farm, which is worth £1,000.
In addition to the stays, there’s also a chance to win a framed Lucy Pittaway 26-inch print of ‘Flying Coast to Coast’, worth £585.
The artwork was commissioned especially for GNAAS and illustrates the 8,000 square miles it covers in the region.
The raffle will be running for one month and the closing date is Friday, March 14, with winners being drawn on Friday, March 21.
