Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue

The Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue team are on call 24/7 365 days a year.

We have 3 helicopters
- 2 in Christchurch 
- 1 in Greymouth.

Our vision is for people across the vast and rugged Canterbury and West Coast regions to live their lives to the full, assured that if they have an emergency, the Rescue Helicopter will be there to look after them and their families.

The trust ensures that our crew have the best equipment available and contributes to the cost of training the crew. 

Each year we raise $7M for the service, so every donation counts.
