Helping Wings is a Jersey charity born out of the Jersey Aero Club's Helping Hands project. This project was first conceived in 2005 with the aim of sharing the excitement of flying in a light aircraft with young Jersey people who would not otherwise get the chance. This moved quickly into focusing our efforts on local disadvantaged children. Since then, with the incredible support of club members and particularly the pilots, over 150 children have enjoyed a day out at the club. They've scrambled over airport fire trucks, they've been amazed by magicians and they've flown around their island in a light aircraft. To quote one parent"today was a life changing experience..."

In 2011, our team decided that we should expand, with the ultimate aim of providing flying training to the physically disabled. Of course, the regular children's days will continue and grow. In order to achieve these goals, Helping Hands has now evolved into a Jersey charity with a new name - Helping Wings.
