GWAAC is the air ambulance for Gloucestershire
Gloucestershire, stretching across the Forest of Dean, the Cotswolds and the Severn Vale, is the largest county served by Great Western Air Ambulance Charity. If you call 999 in Gloucestershire and need the specialist skills of our crew we will be dispatched from our Almondsbury base and can be with you within 20 minutes.
In 2022 we were called out more in Gloucestershire than anywhere else in our region, 30% of our missions.
We also have 3 of our charity shops in the county so far, one in Cheltenham and two in Gloucester (including our boutique) with plans for Cinderford, and more to come.
You can also find us at many of the county’s biggest events including Frampton Country Fair, Royal International Air Tattoo at Fairford and Fresh Art Fair at Cheltenham Racecourse.
Please do get in touch if you would like to find out more about fundraising in the county or volunteering with us.
