Help GNAAS & Win a Trip to Barbados

The Great North Air Ambulance Service is offering the public the chance to win a luxury trip to Barbados by taking part in their annual raffle.

The ‘Take Flight Raffle’ has been launched to raise vital funds for the air ambulance charity, which relies on public donations to survive.

Every £1 ticket bought will support GNAAS’ mission to keep families and communities together by providing life-saving care across the North.

Help GNAAS

The charity, which has a base in the North East and Cumbria, responded to 2,083 incidents in the North East, North Yorkshire, Cumbria, and the Isle of Man.

With a highly skilled doctor, critical care paramedic and experienced pilot on board, they bring the hospital directly to the patient, and can perform major surgery, administer anaesthesia and deliver blood products right at the scene.

It costs approximately £9.3m a year for the charity to remain operational, so to help fund their life-saving missions, they are inviting the public to purchase tickets for their raffle.

To Barbados

The top prize is a getaway to the Caribbean, which includes a two-week stay for up to four guests to Glitter Bay, Barbados.

There are also two cash prizes of £2,000 and £500 up for grabs.

Joe Garcia MBE, interim chief executive officer at GNAAS said: “Every day our highly skilled critical care team are on standby ready to respond to the region’s most ill and injured patients.

“By participating in our raffle, you’ll be helping our team continue to provide advanced care to thousands of people every year, while also having the chance to win incredible prizes.”
