fly2help is an aviation charity that inspires positive change through the wonder of flight. Our vision is for everyone to be able to access the positive benefits of aviation.
We provide Air Smiles Days - exciting experience days, centred around a short flight in a light aircraft - to people living in difficult situations, including illness, disability, bereavement and isolation. Air Smiles Days aim to bring joy and laughter, create and capture magical memories, boost confidence and self-esteem and offer respite to individuals, families and groups.
Aim High showcases all that’s inspirational about the aviation industry to encourage young people to not only consider a future career within the industry but also to be inspired by the uplifting impact of aviation.
Fly2help was founded in 2006 by a group of passionate aviators who wanted to use the wonder of flight to bring joy to people who needed a lift, fly2help has been expanding nationally since 2012. We are currently based at 13 airfields throughout England and Wales, and are expanding further with the support of new airfields, volunteers and pilots.
fly2help relies on the generosity of volunteer pilots and aircraft owners, volunteer coordinators and fundraisers, airfields, corporate sponsors and donors to make its work possible. To offer your support to the charity, or to nominate someone as a beneficiary, please contact fly2help at info@fly2help.org or www.fly2help.org.
