Helen Berriman is our West Regional Fundraiser. Helen joined the Charity in January 2020 as one of our West Yorkshire Community Fundraisers, having previously worked in the Hospitality industry for the last 16 years and was promoted to West Yorkshire Regional Fundraiser in 2021.

“I joined YAA following the birth of my third child. Whilst on maternity leave I had time to think about the things I enjoyed doing and one of the things that stood out was the fundraising involvement I had working in hotels. I am very fortunate and proud to work for Yorkshire Air Ambulance”, said Helen.

In her spare time, Helen enjoys spending time with her family and book folding, where you create pictures/images by folding the pages of a book.

Interesting fact:  Helen appeared on ‘Don’t tell the Bride’.  Whilst working at Oulton Hall, Leeds in 2010 Helen was the wedding coordinator and was the successful venue chosen to host the wedding reception.  Helen spent the full day filming a 5 minute show round and negotiation meeting.  The couple chose to arrive by helicopter and Helen had to arrange for the golf course to be closed for their arrival.
