Close to 5000* missions take place throughout the country each year. Your generous donations help make this possible.

There’s a reason why New Zealand's Rescue Helicopters are there to help local communities – because local communities like yours are always there to help them. This year you donated an astonishing $1.45 million, the most of any Westpac Chopper Appeal to date, and 100% of donations raised in your area will be returned to your local helicopter trust.

Needless to say, Westpac joins everyone you’ve helped rescue in saying thank you. If you missed the Westpac Chopper Appeal and would still like to donate click here. Remember, all your donations go towards making helicopter missions possible across New Zealand every year.

Next time it could be you.
