Charities

The Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) rescues hundreds of severely injured or ill patients every year throughout the North East, North Yorkshire, Cumbria and the Isle of Man. Their critical care teams include a pre-hospital doctor, specialist paramedic and an expert pilot, who take the A&E to the scene of the incident, whether that is on a fell top, a roadside or in a city centre. GNAAS responds to over 2,000 call-outs every year, via their helicopter and rapid response vehicles, where they perform treatments and procedures which can mean the difference between life or death. The service is 100% reliant on charitable funding and would not be possible without public support.

Great Western Air Ambulance Charity (GWAAC) provides emergency care to people who are in a state so critical that they require the specialist skills of its crew at the scene of the accident or medical incident. Though GWAAC is part of the regional 999 response service and works closely with NHS hospitals, it is a charity funded by local people across its region of Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire, North Somerset and parts of Wiltshire.

GAR was founded in 1989 and works to alleviate the suffering of animals in Greece by supporting a number of animal shelters, sterilising as many dogs & cats as funds allow and finding homes for the lucky few in the UK and several other EU countries.

Greyhounds in Need CIO (GIN) is an English registered charity concerned with the plight of greyhounds, especially the Spanish-bred hunting greyhounds (galgos). We work with many shelters in Spain who carry out the primary rescue work and the homing groups and individuals in Europe who, in sympathy with our work, promote adoption in their own countries.
