Throughout the year we raise money for charity. Our own charity is the Wales Air Ambulance which covers the whole of Wales.
We hold static displays in and around North Wales which are either organised by our members or we are requested to by organisers of other events. We also make guest appearances when requested for other charities.
The certificates above are for direct fund-raising activities by North Wales Wings.

 | On Saturday August 1st 2009. North Wales Wings co-ordinated a static display of Gold Wings in Criccieth and invited Wingers from surrounding areas and regions to take part. This was the second day of the Wales Air Ambulance Life Saving Event in Criccieth.The day raised well over £300 which contributed greatly to the whole two-day event organised by Owen Pritchard (WAA) in Criccieth. The event in 2007 was very successful. Gold Wings always attarct attention and we rattled the buckets, to raise a goodly sum for this essential cause. Criccieth is a lovely town on the North West coast of Wales (beyond Porthmadog) and Wingers enjoyed exceptional scenic roads on the way.The weather was glorious and, as usual, we were ready for the obligatory ice cream during the day.
