Got a question about Heli Hike?

How can I fundraise for my Heli Hike?
We encourage all our Heli Hikers to use their walk as an opportunity to raise vital funds. There are plenty of fun and meaningful ways to get involved in fundraising, and this year we’re aiming to raise £20,000 to help us continue saving lives across Kent, Surrey and Sussex. Our Events Team will be with you every step of the way. Once you sign up, we’ll set up an online fundraising page for you, and you’ll also receive a fundraising pack in the post to help kick‑start your efforts. We’ll share ideas and inspiration throughout your journey too. Together, we can make a real difference.
