Aerobility

Make a Loved One’s Name Soar While Supporting a Life-Changing Cause! For a donation of £50 or more, you can add the name of your choice to the wing of our Cherokee Six aircraft and help us transform lives through the power of flight. Your support will help us purchase this game-changing aircraft, which will allow us to work with a broader range of individuals, including those with complex disabilities who require specialised hoisting, on-board equipment, and caregivers. This new aircraft will enable us to make the magic of flight accessible to even more people, providing freedom and joy to those who need it most. You can find out more here: https://lnkd.in/eTkYE6_Q Thank you for helping us take this mission to new heights! #Aerobility #CherokeeSix

Our great friends at NATS support us in so many different ways, including providing a fabulous team of volunteers to help tidy up the place! Today's NATS crew worked their socks off: painting picnic benches and parking stones, cleaning windows, washing vans and giving the paths a good ol' jet wash! Thank you all! 😍

Did you catch The i Paper article on "20 of the best wheelchair friendly days out in the UK" over the weekend? We're thrilled to have been included and we hope that other attractions will be encouraged to review their accessibility and open their doors that bit wider (in every sense) to welcome more disabled guests in the future. #Accessiblity #WheelchairFriendly #DaysOut #LearnToFly

There's still time to sign up for the Twilight Challenge on the 21st September! https://lnkd.in/gsiQrdf We currently have 24 runners, walkers and cyclists, not forgetting our mascot Wilbur of course, but we'd love to see even more Aerobility participants. If you're able to join us please let us know and we'll send you the details of the after-event cool down, and if not then perhaps you'd consider a donation to Wilbur's fundraising page. https://lnkd.in/eTuFjqwz #TwilightChallenge #WilburTheBear #Fundraising

Whilst the Inspire-Ability series takes a short hiatus, we wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to Alex Prins Creative for their support over the last two seasons. We're sad to see them go but we wish both Alex and Adam the very best in their futures. #Inspireability #Podcast #VideoSeries #AbilityNotDisability

We were so pleased to see the return of the Muscle Help Foundation for the 8th year! With the support of the MHF volunteers and Aerobility team, one lucky participant was able to experience flying (after practicing on the simulator, whilst waiting for the rain to stop) and even shared the fun with his brother. The incoming inclement weather means that we've had to take a raincheck on the next flying day but we'll regroup for more smiles in the skies soon! #MuscularDystrophy #DisabledFlying #AbilityNotDisability

It was our great pleasure to receive this fantastic donation from the FAC and Owen Daniels earlier today. The Farnborough Aerospace Consortium and Owen Daniels kindly co-hosted a charity golf day together to raise funds for Aerobility. The very successful event took place back in August at the Leatherhead Golf Course. Thank you all, great to meet some of you today and thanks to all the golfers too! #GolfDay #Fundraising #FarnboroughAerospace #OwenDaniels

We have recently launched an exciting new project that will enable us to extend our reach to many more disabled people - the addition of a Cherokee Six to our fleet. In order to make this project a reality we are appealing to your generosity by asking you to consider a contribution towards the new aircraft. The Cherokee Six has several key points in its favour, making it a valuable and much-needed addition to our fleet. Its size and design, with extra space onboard for mobility equipment and carers to join the flight, will enable us to extend our flight experiences to a wider range of beneficiaries. This additional space and extra door also allows us to deliver enhanced hoisting, further extending those that can fly. The additional two seats, extra door and greater baggage space (compared to our existing aircraft) will give us the capability to provide flyaway activities to any airfield in the UK, taking the hoist and equipment such as electric wheelchairs inside the aircraft. This will greatly further our mission to extend our reach beyond our existing physical sites and current community by giving us the capacity to offer an additional 100 flights every year to severely disabled people. As a token of our gratitude for your generous support, we would like to offer you the opportunity to have your name, or the name of a loved one, added to the wing of the aircraft for donations of £50 or more. For corporate donations of £3,000 or more, your organisation's logo will be featured on the aircraft.
