Announcing our 2026 Charity Partner: North West Air Ambulance

We are thrilled to announce that the North West Air Ambulance Charity (NWAA) has been chosen as Holgates’ Charity of the Year for 2026.

The North West Air Ambulance Charity is a vital lifeline for our region. From motorways to mountains, their helicopters and rapid response vehicles bring advanced pre-hospital care directly to the scene of an incident.

Supporting North West Air Ambulance

We are dedicated to making a positive impact in our community. In 2026, we are soaring to new heights to support life-saving emergency care across the region.

Why We Are Supporting NWAA

As a family business with parks nestled in some of the most beautiful (and often remote) parts of the North West, we know how crucial it is to have rapid medical intervention when minutes matter most.

Vital Support

The NWAA receives no government or NHS funding. They rely entirely on the generosity of people like you to keep their crews in the air and on the road. Throughout 2026, our team and guests will be coming together to raise funds that help provide:

  • Emergency Intervention: Bringing the hospital emergency department to the patient.

  • Rapid Response: Reaching difficult terrain where traditional ambulances may struggle.

  • Advanced Equipment: Funding the latest medical technology to save lives 365 days a year.

2025 Retrospective: A Record-Breaking Year for Breast Cancer Now

As we begin and navigate our way through our new journey, we want to say a massive thank you to our incredible guests, owners, and staff for their generosity throughout 2025.

Last year, we dedicated our fundraising efforts to Breast Cancer Now, the UK’s leading research and support charity. We are overjoyed to announce that together, we raised a phenomenal:

£10,788

Every penny of this total has gone toward life-saving research and providing vital support for those affected by breast cancer. Whether you bought a raffle ticket, joined a park event, or added a donation to one of our charity buckets, you have helped move us closer to a future where everyone diagnosed with breast cancer lives—and lives well.

Thank you for helping us make such a tangible difference.
