How you can support us…
Reflecting on the year that’s been? Or planning the year ahead?
Maybe life’s changes mean you need to update your affairs – or perhaps you haven’t started getting them in order.
Whatever stage you’re in, we want to help.
We`re offering you a 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 service. It takes around 10 minutes and comes with free lifetime updates.
We promise, there’s no strings attached. While we would greatly appreciate you leaving a gift in your will to our rescue helicopter service, there’s no requirement to do so.
We simply want you to be ready for the future, whatever it may bring.

Next month, Mark Holmes will be at the start line of a 3,000 km ride up the length of New Zealand as part of mid-Canterbury`s Rescue Warriors.
It`s a ride he says is pushing him outside his comfort zone, but he`s proud to be doing it for the life-saving rescue helicopter service. Cheering him on will be his wife of more than 40 years Jennie, three children and two grandchildren.

A behind the scenes look at IGA`s first mission!
IGA is the first of three new H145 rescue helicopters coming to the Canterbury West Coast region. Since its launch last month, it`s been busy - and the crew are loving it!
Pilot Stu, Paramedic Wayne, and Intensive Care Paramedic Adrian had the privilege of being on IGAs first mission, transferring a patient from Timaru to Christchurch Hospital.
Wayne says it was "pretty cool" to be part of the first job in this new machine.
Thanks for the great photos Wayne!
