Support GWAAC with your Christmas activities

At Great Western Air Ambulance Charity (GWAAC), our crew are ready to leap into action at a moment’s notice whenever they’re needed, 365 days a year, even at Christmas time.

We're looking for members of our community to get involved and host their own Christmas fundraising events for our lifesaving service. Below are just some examples of how you could get involved:

Light up your home for GWAAC

Do you have a wide array of Christmas lights waiting to go up? Take inspiration from some of the amazing displays we’ve seen over the years and bring festive cheer to your street — all while supporting a great cause.

Host a carol concert

Spread the joy of Christmas with music! Gather friends, family, or your local choir and sing for GWAAC. You can either ticket the event or collect with buckets.

Organise a community collection

Could your local group host a festive bucket collection? Christmas is the season of giving — it’s the perfect time to inspire generosity and raise funds for GWAAC.

Other ideas:

  • Christmas Jumper Day: Dig out your best (or worst!) festive knit and collect donations at your workplace, school, or community group
  • Bake Sale: Whip up some seasonal treats and host a Christmas bake sale in aid of GWAAC
  • Festive Quiz Night: Test your friends’ Christmas knowledge and raise funds while having fun
  • Christmas Raffle: Gather some festive prizes and sell tickets to boost your fundraising total
  • Santa Run: Don a Santa hat (or the full suit) and get sponsored for your own festive fun run.
