The Great North Air Ambulance Service has been confirmed as the Official Charity Partner for the Isle of Man TT and Classic TT races in 2026.
The announcement forms part of the TT’s Charity Programme, which uses the global profile of the TT and Classic TT to support charitable causes through fundraising, awareness and engagement initiatives.
GNAAS provides critical pre-hospital care to people who are seriously ill or injured across the North East, North Yorkshire, Cumbria and the Isle of Man.
Charity Partner
Through the partnership, GNAAS will benefit from a range of fundraising activities held during the TT and Classic TT events, helping to support the continued delivery of life-saving services on the island.
Organisers have confirmed that the use of the TT’s platform for fundraising purposes is separate from any contractual arrangements between GNAAS and Manx Care.
Meanwhile, the TT’s 2025 charity partnership with Mannin Cancer is set to conclude following the final auction of its ‘Wheelie Good Cause’ TT Legends model bikes on Friday 29 May 2026.
All proceeds from the campaign will go towards supporting people affected by cancer across the island.
Support Services
Sarah Maltby MHK, Political Member with Responsibility for Motorsport said: “Building on the success of the TT’s first official charity partnership with Amnion Cancers, the new partnership with GNAAS demonstrates a continued commitment to use the TT and Classic TT as a platform to support services that deliver significant public benefit and measurable impact.”
Joe Garcia, GNAAS CEO said: “Being selected as the TT’s charity partner is a privilege, and it will make a real difference to the life-saving service we can provide ton the island. Every mission we fly makes a difference, and this partnership strengthen our ability to bring advanced critical care to people across the island.”
