Start a regular gift today, save a life tomorrow.
2024 was the busiest year on record for Great Western Air Ambulance Charity, with 2,272 call-outs across our region, more than ever before. Each mission represents a friend, family member or loved one who our local community have helped us reach with urgent, lifesaving care.
Demand for our service shows no sign of slowing in 2025, and we need your support to keep saving lives. We never know who our next patient will be. But whoever they are, wherever they are, a regular gift can help us be there. It means we can plan for the future, invest in training and protect our lifesaving service.
What can a regular gift from you mean?
It can mean investment in specialist training to keep our crew at the top of their game.
It can mean having the advanced equipment we need to treat the most ill and injured patients.
It can mean we're there to deliver lifesaving care when it matters most.
Your regular support can save lives – what does that mean to you?
How will your regular gift help?
A regular gift will help us be there for people like four-year-old Jasmine, who was found by her parents unconscious and not breathing. She was suffering a respiratory arrest and in need of emergency care, fast – that's where GWAAC came in.
Our Critical Care Team arrived in less than 20 minutes, administered emergency anaesthesia and put Jasmine into an induced coma, taking over her breathing – performing all these interventions in Jasmine's home, before airlifting her to Bristol Children's Hospital.
The advanced skills in pre-hospital care, powerful medicines and specialist equipment needed to save Jasmine's life would not have been available without the generosity of our local community – you keep us flying!
Your support can keep more families like Jasmine's together.
"There is not a day that has gone by since where we have not thought of you all. You saved Jasmine’s life, and ours, that day. I very much hope that if life ever throws anything difficult at you that you can think of people like us, who you have saved, made the ultimate of differences to, and smile through any of it."
Each day on average, more than six people need our help. On their worst day the skills, equipment and knowledge we bring can give them their best chance. A regular donation from you ensures we're ready to respond to the next emergency – today, tomorrow, always.
