About our charity

Sharing Air Smiles! fly2help lifts the horizons of people of all ages, backgrounds and cultures through the medium of flight. We support those with life-limiting and chronic illnesses; families who have suffered some form of tragedy and those who are working to recover a sense of self-worth and need a life-boost. This includes those struggling to live with bereavement and disability, isolation or poverty and people who have suffered extreme neglect and abuse. An exhilarating flight gives our beneficiaries the chance to see the world from a new perspective leaving their worries on the ground.<p> The people with whom we work come from various backgrounds and face disadvantage in a variety of forms: social, economic, physical, educational and cultural.<p> Many are from areas of social deprivation, both urban and rural. They may be from troubled family backgrounds, and that includes those who are or have been in care or are victims of abuse. Some have emotional or behavioural problems, others live with learning difficulties and special educational needs. <p> By giving these people the opportunity to experience the liberation and freedom of flight, our team hopes to inspire and develop their imagination and to enhance their self-determination. The extra boost that comes from the freedom of the skies and the exhilaration of flight renews motivation, enthuses and increases long term self esteem and confidence.<p> Turning Ordinary Days into Extraordinary Adventure
