Great Western Air Ambulance Charity officially launched their Charity of the Year partnership with Bristol Airport on Tuesday 28th May. The charity, which provides the critical care and air ambulance services for Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire and surrounding areas, was voted in by Bristol Airport employees to be their nominated charity earlier this year.
The GWAAC Critical Care Team, who are on call 365 days a year, landed the air ambulance helicopter at Bristol Airport to officially launch the partnership, inviting those who have been involved in fundraising to come and have a look around the aircraft.
So far, employees of Bristol Airport have thrown themselves into supporting their local air ambulance, with over £2,000 already raised.
