At Skywatch NI, our volunteers are on call to support emergency services across Northern Ireland—helping to search for missing persons, respond to major incidents, and provide critical aerial intelligence when it matters most.
Today, we’re asking for your support.

We’ve launched a fundraising campaign to strengthen our life-saving capability and ensure we can continue to respond quickly, safely, and effectively.
Your donation will directly support:
🚁 Advanced drone equipment for search and rescue operations
🚙 4x4 vehicles to access remote and challenging terrain
📡 Reliable communication systems for coordinated responses
🦺 Essential PPE to keep our volunteers safe
🛠️ Ongoing operational and maintenance costs
Every member of Skywatch NI is a volunteer, giving their time and skills to protect and support our communities. With no cost to those we help, we rely on fundraising and public generosity to sustain and grow our service.
Even a small donation can make a big difference.
And through this campaign, donations may be matched—doubling the impact of your support.
If you’re able to contribute, thank you. If not, please consider sharing this post to help us reach more people.
Together, we can continue saving lives. ❤️
We’re raising money to equip our volunteers with essential new kit, fuel our life‑saving search operations, and introduce a new support van.
