Charity Partnership Resources

Our Critical Care Doctors and Specialist Paramedics bring the skill and equipment of a hospital Emergency Department to the roadside, to someone’s bedside, and to the side of our friends, colleagues and loved ones. By helicopter or critical care car, we deliver advanced care when every second counts. We give people what they need, when they need it most.

But we can’t do this alone.

Thank you for choosing to fundraise for Great Western Air Ambulance Charity!

Thanks to you and your colleagues, we can be ready to respond to anyone who needs us and save more lives across Bristol, Bath, Gloucestershire, and beyond.

To get your fundraising off to a flying start, you'll find some helpful resources below but please contact the partnerships team on 0303 4444 999 or partnerships@gwaac.com for more information or to arrange a visit to our Almondsbury airbase.

Welcome on board Team GWAAC and happy fundraising!

Staff Engagement Opportunities

Payroll Giving

Employee

You donate before tax, meaning more of your £ goes towards our lifesaving charity.

Donate £10 but pay only:

£8 if basic rate
£6 if higher rate
£5.50 if additional rate

Sign up through your employer or if they don't have a Payroll Giving scheme, you can sign up directly through Payroll Giving in Action.

Employer

Payroll giving provides sustainable income that can form part of your workplace partnership with our charity, broadening engagement between our organisations and increasing your impact on our shared community.

You can easily create a Payroll Giving scheme for the benefit of your staff and local air ambulance. Get in touch if you’d like some help or Create a Scheme.

Corporate Volunteering

Supporting our events, rescue-checking our defibrillators, cheering your colleagues at marathons, cash collecting or charity shop work,…we’ve got the opportunities and you’ve got the time to give. Contact us to find out more about how corporate volunteering can form part of your workplace partnership with our charity.
