Fantastic NEWS for our Region....
Northland Rescue Helicopter has welcomed Stuff Media as its latest Gold sponsor.
Northland Emergency Services Trust Chair Paul Ahlers says this support could not come at a better time with the launch of the 2021 fundraising appeal for the service this week.
“Sponsorships like this really make a difference to us and Stuff’s offering will allow us to lift our profile during the annual appeal across Whangarei Leader, Northern News and Bay Chronicle,” says Mr Ahlers.
“This should provide increased awareness of the important job the rescue helicopter performs, and highlight the need for community support as the service is only partially funded by the Government.”
The service has already completed more than 1,000 flights this year and will easily surpass last years’ record total of 1,115 flights for the calendar year.
“It means our call to action asking for donations from members of the public will be publicised that much broader and easier. We are very appreciative.”
Stuff CEO Sinead Boucher says her team is delighted to be backing a world class air ambulance service.
"Stuff's reporters in Northland often see first-hand the role the Northland Rescue Helicopters play in saving lives," says Stuff CEO Sinead Boucher.
"It's a critical service that has a positive impact on Northland and our Northern News, Bay Chronicle and Whangarei Leader teams are very proud to support the annual fundraising campaign that runs from October to December.
“And it is great peace of mind when I am in Northland with my family knowing that the service is there for people 24/7. We wish the service well in its 2021 fundraising efforts and are pleased to be able to support the campaign."

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
41.1% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.4% No, I enjoy it

1.5% Other - I'll share below
