Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust

Since its inception in the heart of Auckland more than four decades ago, the Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust has been a beacon of hope and resilience for the people of our vibrant city and beyond. As a charitable trust dedicated to saving lives and providing essential aid during emergencies, we are deeply rooted in our commitment to the community we serve. Our story began when a group of visionaries recognized the urgent need for a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) in Auckland. Armed with determination and a shared sense of purpose, they founded this trust to ensure that no one is left behind during their darkest hours. Over the years, we have grown into an integral part of Auckland's emergency response system, offering round-the-clock services for accident casualty transport, medevacs, rescue searches, and airlifts. At our core, we are a team of passionate professionals, who tirelessly work to bring the best possible care directly to those in need. Our dedicated crew includes experienced pilots, highly trained medical staff, and caring support personnel - each one committed to making a difference. We also extend our reach into the youth sector, providing educational programs that instill essential life skills, foster empathy, and inspire future generations to make a positive impact on their communities. The Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust is more than just a service provider; we are an extension of hope for those in crisis, a symbol of unity during challenging times, and a testament to the enduring power of compassion. Together with our supporters, we continue to uphold our mission - to save lives, ease suffering, and bring comfort where it's needed most. Join us as we strive to make Auckland a safer place for all its residents and visitors. Your support ensures that we can continue to be there when every second counts, providing essential airlifts, life-saving medical transfers, and rescue searches, keeping our city vibrant, resilient, and united.
