Corporate Crew members club launched to help save lives with the North West Air Ambulance charity. 45,000 life-threatening incidents – that is how many times the North West Air Ambulance charity (NWAA) has been called out since its inception in May 1999. To coincide with its 25th anniversary year in 2024, the charity launched the Corporate Crew members club. The club gives North West businesses the opportunity to support the charity’s lifesaving work, and benefit from a close relationship with the air ambulance.
So far this year, founding members Amazon, Fletchers Solicitors, Glasdon Group and BrightHR have been able to access the charity’s operational base in Greater Manchester, enjoyed a golf day at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club, and were invited to hear exclusive talks from former patients about their experiences.
They’ve also been given exclusive insights from NWAA’s Operations Director, Dave Briggs, who chatted through the future of the charity. In addition, all members have benefitted from endorsement from the North West Air Ambulance charity and a wide range of promotional activity, highlighting each company’s support of the charity’s lifesaving work.
Josh Griffiths, GMA from Amazon said: “We are delighted to be a founding member of the Corporate Crew. Not only are we supporting the worthwhile work of this amazing charity, but I’m looking forward to building connections with other businesses across the North West and publicising our partnership with the North West Air Ambulance Charity.”
Joy Kavanagh, Director from Glasdon Group and Alan Price, CEO from BrightHR both highlight the business benefits of being a member. Joy said: “The Corporate Crew membership presented a fantastic opportunity for Glasdon to generate new opportunities for collaboration and we look forward to meeting partners and businesses who share our ethos.”
“BrightHR get to gain an insight into how the charity operates,” said Alan, “and how the unwavering efforts of the team respond to over 3,000 incidents every year, empowering us to get our client base on board with the fundraising efforts too!”
The next members’ event takes place in November 2024, during which one company will win a sponsorship package for a charity-led event in 2025, another of the benefits afforded to Corporate Crew members.
