Cornwall Air Ambulance is giving supporters the chance to have their name put on the new helicopter as part of its ‘New Heli Hero’ scheme.

The lifesaving charity is offering a limited number of name places on the new AW169 air ambulance. For a donation of £100 your name will feature on the base of the aircraft as it goes to the aid of seriously sick and injured patients.

Supporters will also receive a certificate and see their name on a dedicated board which will take pride of place at Cornwall Air Ambulance headquarters.

The fundraising scheme is part of the £2.5m New Heli Appeal to bring a new air ambulance to Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly by April 2020.

Thomas Hennessy Jones, Critical Care Paramedic, said: ‘We have a really exciting opportunity for our supporters to play a part in every mission that we fly by becoming a New Heli Hero. With your name on the helicopter you’ll fly alongside the crew to the roads, the cliffs and the homes of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.’

You can secure a name place for a minimum donation of £100. Places are limited and will be registered on a first come first serve basis. Full terms and conditions can be found on Cornwall Air Ambulance website
