When every precious moment counts, here’s how you will help protect life, health and wellbeing.

Air Ambulance

Starship’s Air Ambulance is New Zealand’s only flying Intensive Care Unit for children. It is fully equipped with state-of-the-art technology needed to save children’s lives. Each flight can be in the air with a full paediatric intensive care unit team, within an hour of receiving a call for help. Your regular gifts help make sure the Starship Air Ambulance is always ready to respond at a moment’s notice.

PICU

Starship’s Paediatric Intensive Care Unit is the only dedicated children’s intensive care unit in New Zealand. Each year, around 1200 of our country’s most critically ill and injured children are treated here. Your reliable donations help make sure PICU is always equipped with the state-of-the-art technology needed to deliver specialist care to our little patients. You will also help provide the Starship team with the training and professional development they need to provide lifesaving medical attention in emergency situations.

NICU

Starship’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit specialises in caring for newborn babies with complex health needs. Our experienced, multidisciplinary team provides world-class treatment and care to infants with a wide range of chronic and life-threatening conditions. Your regular support helps ensure NICU has all the specialist and state-of-the-art equipment and training it needs to provide treatment and care to the littlest patients.

CED

Starship’s Children’s Emergency Department (CED) is the only emergency department in New Zealand dedicated exclusively to the needs of children. Each year, our experienced and highly skilled team of doctors, nurses and nurse practitioners see approximately 40,000 children and young people who are critically ill or injured. The CED also plays a critical role in training paediatric medical care specialists and expanding the frontiers of children’s health care through research.

Your monthly gifts will save lives

By becoming part of Starship’s Emergency Response Team and committing to a regular gift, you are joining a community of like-minded people who share your passion for children’s health.

Supporting Starship in this way is one of the most powerful things you can do to make sure all critically ill and injured NZ children get the emergency care they need – whenever and wherever they need it. It ensures funds are always available when they are urgently needed.

As a regular supporter, you’ll receive a monthly flight report full of inspiring stories of how your compassionate gifts are helping patients and their families. You’ll also receive a newsletter three times a year keeping you up to date with all the latest developments at the hospital.

If you’re inspired to join our Emergency Response Team and become a generous regular giver, please reach out to us at (09) 307 4957 or send us an email at starshipsupportcare@adhb.govt.nz.

How we’ll contact you 

Face to Face Fundraising

Why do you fundraise face to face? 

We fundraise face to face around the country as this is a great way to tell people about what we do and attract more supporters for Kiwi kids all around New Zealand. People can choose to sign up with the donation going from either their Credit Card or bank account each month.  

Regular donations help us plan out our work to support Starship Children from all over the country with certainty. Our face to face fundraisers are passionate about the cause, and will share stories with you about some of the work we do. 

F2F group

What details will a fundraiser ask me for? 

Our fundraisers will ask for some form of ID, and either your credit card or bank account number to make the donations. 

What about security? Is my information secure? 

Yes, our fundraisers enter your details into a system on an iPad, with security precautions in place. 

What about regulation? 

Starship Foundation is a member of the Public Fundraising Regulatory Association (PFRA). The PFRA works with charities and service providers to ensure quality, integrity and transparency in face to face fundraising by creating an atmosphere of public confidence and regulatory satisfaction.


By phone 


The Starship Foundation partners with a professional charity telemarketing agency. They phone New Zealanders and ask them to donate monthly to Starship.  

Why are you doing this? 
Starship relies on support from generous New Zealanders to fund important projects like the Starship National Air Ambulance. Donations from regular givers who’ve signed up via telemarketing make a huge difference to the care we can offer our children. 
 
Please note: If you’re ever unsure whether your call has come from a legitimate source, call us on 0800 782 774 for a chat. If you can, try and make a note of the number that called you.
