By Every Northwest 200, a very worthy charity gains support and for 2026 it’s once again, the vitally important Air Ambulance NI (Northern Ireland) team.
Helping those involved in all manner of unfortunate circumstances, one cannot but have admiration for those associated with this cause.

Air Ambulance Northern Ireland, Head of Fundraising, Kerry Anderson:
“Being selected once again as the official charity partner for the Briggs Equipment North West 200 is an incredible honour.
Every year, we are humbled by the support of the biking community, volunteers, and everyone who donates. It costs £8,200 each day to keep our service operational, and every pound raised directly helps us to save lives, preserve neurological function, and prevent limb loss across Northern Ireland.
We’re excited to be working with the NW200 team again to make 2026 another unforgettable year.”
Northwest 200 Event Director, Mervyn Whyte added:
“The response from the public and biking community for the Air Ambulance NI during our race week in 2025 (£36,000 plus raised) was nothing short of incredible.
We are delighted to support Air Ambulance NI again for the 2026 Briggs Equipment North West 200, helping to fund and highlight the vital role the service plays in our communities.
The HEMS team were called into action twice during last year’s race week, underlining just how essential this service is. We hope to see even more support for this great cause come May.”
