Emily from Chippenham's story

We’re just so thankful to Wiltshire Air Ambulance for what they did for me. We’ll be forever grateful.

It was my birthday recently and everyone was asking ‘what do I want?’ but I said nothing, I’m just so happy to be alive.

Supporting the local area

We are there for people across the North West. 

Our helicopter and critical care cars attend missions from Hardenhuish to Monkton, Quemerford to Derry Hill, Gastard to Neston, Minety to Sherston.

It takes us between three and seven minutes to fly to these areas.

Middlewick House

One of our biggest events takes place in Corsham, thanks to our ambassadors Nick and Annette Mason. 

They open up Middlewick House to raise funds for our charity and the Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust. 

In 2024, the event raised over £123,000 to split between the two charities.
