Volunteer with us!

Volunteering with the Great North Air Ambulance Service offers a unique opportunity to make a real difference in your community. Whether you’re helping at events, assisting in fundraising efforts, or lending a hand at one of our charity shops, every task supports the life-saving work our critical care teams carry out each day.

By giving your time, you become an essential part of the mission to bring advanced emergency care to people in their greatest moment of need. Our volunteers help ensure that our helicopters stay in the skies, reaching patients in some of the most remote and challenging locations across the North East, Cumbria, North Yorkshire and the Isle of Man.

Beyond the impact you have on others, volunteering with GNAAS is incredibly rewarding on a personal level. You’ll meet like-minded people, develop new skills, and experience the satisfaction of knowing that your time and energy are helping to make life-saving missions possible.

Every minute you spend helping us in a wide variety of volunteering roles contributes directly to someone receiving advanced medical care when every second counts. Simply put, our volunteers help turn compassion into action, ensuring we can be there when we’re needed most.

By joining our team of dedicated volunteers, you’re not only supporting a vital cause—you’re becoming part of a life-saving community.
