Now, those 20 match-worn jerseys are up for auction on Trade Me personally signed by the player that wore the jersey during the match, with every dollar raised supporting Life Flight’s lifesaving work across Aotearoa.

A giant bee has landed in the SOPRO foyer 🐝

We’ve partnered with Life Flight, Bee in the City, and local artist Lizzie Pannell to bring Pollinating Pōneke to life inside our space.

This one is close to home.

Earlier this year, Life Flight helped one of our members after a serious accident, flying him to Christchurch for rehab and recovery.

So for us, this is more than a sponsorship.

It’s community.
It’s art.
It’s recovery.
It’s backing the people who show up when it matters most.

Over the next few weeks, Lizzie will be painting the bee live in our foyer.

Come watch the story unfold.

Just yesterday, our team was returning to Wellington after transporting a premature baby back home to Hawke's Bay. On the way, they learned that fog had rolled in at Wellington, and they needed to land in Kapiti instead.

They weren’t alone; two other Air Ambulances were also en route to deliver patients to urgent medical care at Wellington Hospital.

Thanks to Kāpiti Airport, all crews were able to safely complete their missions despite the weather conditions.

It's only with your support that these missions are made possible - it was your generosity that flew the premature baby home, and it's your support that ensured our other patients could get the care they needed in Wellington. We can't thank you enough ❤️

Inspired by today’s World Bee Day theme of cooperation between humans and bees, a colourful swarm of creativity will soon land in Pōneke Wellington.

🐝30+ giant bee sculptures, each transformed by Kiwi artists

🐝20+ community bees created by schools and local groups

A free, family-friendly public sculpture art trail, presented by Mills-Albert Limited, for everyone to enjoy.

Better yet, every bee will help keep Life Flight’s Westpac Chopper and Air Ambulance Planes in the air and delivering urgent, lifesaving care.

Bee part of the buzz this September. Join the swarm 🐝

We’re excited to announce that Life Flight has been chosen as Chemist Warehouse New Zealand’s Charity of choice! This partnership will help ensure life-saving aeromedical care is there for Kiwis across Aotearoa New Zealand.

🏉 To kick things off, tune in to this weekend’s rugby with the Blues, Chiefs, Hurricanes, Crusaders and Highlanders, and their "Tries for Good"! Every try scored will raise $4,000 in vital funds for Life Flight’s Air Ambulance service.

Why is this so important? Each flight faces a $4,000 funding shortfall, and it’s only through the support of the community life-saving care is there when every second counts.

A huge thank you to Chemist Warehouse New Zealand for their incredible support! Let’s score big for a great cause!
