We’re giving supporters the chance to win a top prize of £10,000 in our annual raffle, while helping to fund our life-saving work across the North of England and the Isle of Man.
The £10,000 first prize has been generously donated by AAA Roofing and is one of the biggest prizes awarded by an air ambulance raffle in the UK.
There are additional cash prizes of £2,000 for second place, £1,000 for third, and £500 for fourth also up for grabs.
Tickets cost just £1 each, and every ticket purchased will help fund the charity’s Operation SOS: Secure Our Service appeal and bring them closer to replacing their ageing fleet and securing the future of their service.
The charity plans to invest in three state-of-the-art helicopters and through careful financial planning, they already have the deposits for the first two aircraft, however, they urgently need to raise £2.5m to fund the deposit for a crucial third helicopter.
Since launching Operation SOS, supporters have helped the charity make significant progress towards its target, but unfortunately, they are still less than halfway.
Joe Garcia MBE, chief executive officer at GNAAS, said: “Every day our highly skilled critical care teams are on standby, ready to respond to the region’s most seriously ill and injured patients.
“By buying a ticket in our SOS Raffle, you will not only have the chance to win an incredible £10,000, but you will also be directly supporting Operation SOS and helping us secure the future of our life-saving service.
“Your support will ultimately rewrite the ending of the story for anyone unfortunate enough to need our care.
“We are enormously grateful to AAA Roofing for their generous donation of our top prize. Their support, alongside everyone who buys a ticket, will help keep our helicopters flying and our teams responding to patients at the moment they need us most.”
Since 2002, GNAAS has attended nearly 30,000 incidents, bringing a pilot, critical care paramedic and doctor directly to the scene to deliver advanced, hospital-level treatment.
Together, they have helped save thousands of lives and supported countless families during some of the most difficult times.
Those wishing to support the charity’s life-saving work while having the chance to win one of four cash prizes can purchase tickets online or by calling 01325 487263.
The SOS Raffle closes on 27 November, with the winning tickets drawn on 11 December.
