Please help your rescue crew save more lives
Accident or emergency situations can happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime. It’s what happens next that matters.
Every minute counts. The sooner treatment begins, the greater the chance of patient recovery. When the Grassroots Trust Rescue Helicopter is tasked to a life-saving emergency rescue mission via the emergency 111 call system, it is the best, and in many cases, the only option.
Founded in 1991, the Grassroots Trust Rescue Helicopter is a free emergency rescue service for the Manawatu and Whanganui regions, bringing life-saving equipment, rescue personnel and trauma-trained Critical Care Flight Paramedics directly to the patient.
We cannot do what we do without the support of our community. We rely on the kindness of people like you to save lives every day.
