Organise Your Will
Others live when you give
In recognition of the fact that 80% of NI adults don’t have a Will, Air Ambulance Northern Ireland is pleased to announce the return of ‘Organise your Will’; a Will writing service.
Throughout March and April 2021 Air Ambulance NI is giving you the opportunity to make or update your Will through one of our solicitor partners.
Leaving a gift in your Will.
You are not obliged in any way to leave a gift in your Will to Air Ambulance NI but after prioritising your loved ones, we hope you will consider us. It is not only the medical team who save lives but the people who support our service. Leaving a charitable donation for Air Ambulance Northern Ireland in your Will, will help us attend the most serious incidents of trauma every day throughout NI.
Why take part in ‘Organise your Will’ campaign?
Having an up to date Will is very important! When you are gone it helps to:
- Ensure your loved ones are looked after
- Ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes
- Minimise family disputes
- Ensure your final wishes are fulfilled
- You can leave a gift to family, friends and charitable organisations
Whilst lockdown creates challenges for solicitor meetings, our participating solicitors have creative solutions in terms of video conference calls, outdoor signatures and various measures to ensure validity.
Participating solicitors are providing FREE basic individual and pairs of Wills in return for a donation to Air Ambulance NI. See map below for participating local solicitors.
Suggested donation
- Basic Will – £100
- Pair of basic Wills – £150
When to make a Will?
Anytime is a good time to organise your Will. Life can change in an instant and when your circumstances change, it is always a good idea to make or update your Will. For example:
- Buying your first house
- Having a baby
- Changes in your health

‘We are delighted to be supporting Air Ambulance NI’s ‘Organise your Will campaign again in 2021. Making a Will in normal circumstances is a task that is easily put off as something people may prefer not to think about. Yet for many people, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in increased awareness. For some this is prompted partly by the natural concern of serious illness, but also many clients find they have the time just now to think about what they would like to happen in the event of their death. We are delighted to be supporting Air Ambulance NI’s ‘Organise your will’ pilot initiative. Making a will is one of the most important things you can do for your families and good causes and it gives you the comfort of knowing that the rewards of your life’s work will be distributed and managed according to your wishes. Make an appointment today to ensure your tomorrows are taken care of.’
