Air Ambulance NI is our official Corporate Charity Partner for 2022.

Get ready for an action-packed schedule of events as we pledge to raise as much money as possible for Air Ambulance NI vital services. Throughout 2022 our staff and tenants will hold events to help raise vital funds that will help Air Ambulance as it provides critical support in emergency incidents.  

Speaking at the launch of the partnership in January 2022, John McLean, Chief Executive of Radius Housing said “Air Ambulance provides a vital role as part of the emergency services in some of the most difficult circumstances and help get people the best treatment as quickly as possible. In choosing Air Ambulance NI as our Charity Partner for 2022, the Radius team saw the opportunity to support them as they do their amazing work. As an organisation who supports many people through the provision of homes and care services including a life-saving telecare service for vulnerable people, we understand the vision and values of Air Ambulance and we are excited to begin fundraising.”  

Radius Housing’s staff play an important role in the selection of the new charity partner and are invited to nominate charities that provide essential services or support to people across Northern Ireland. This year Air Ambulance NI was selected due to the important role they provide in treating and transferring patients after major incidents. 

Air Ambulance NI works with the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS) to provide the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service for Northern Ireland. The charity’s operational helicopter carries a crew compiling pilot, doctor, and paramedic, 365 days of the year operating for twelve hours every day. They attend some of the most traumatic medical incidents and are dedicated to delivering the very best possible pre-hospital critical care, specific to the patients injuries, before transfer to the most appropriate hospital.
