Create you free Will todayHaving a Will is one of the best ways to protect your own loved ones and ensure your wishes for the future are protected too.
A gift in your Will to Northern Rescue will help save lives by keeping our rescue helicopters operating across the communities of Northland, Auckland, and the Coromandel. From covering the cost of rescue flights, to training for our pilots and clinicians, to buying crucial medical equipment — your gift will invest in what is most needed to respond to people in a crisis.
Every life saved by Northern Rescue represents someone’s partner, parent, child, friend, or family member in the community we serve. Which means your generous gift, large or small, will have a real life-changing and lasting impact for each and every one of them.
