Bradford on Avon businesses work together to support us
Tuesday, 02 April 2024
And this month, teams came together to present cheques to their beneficiaries, Wiltshire Air Ambulance and Bradford Town Football Club.
Handing over cheques totalling over £1600 was only made possible with further donations from local companies, Ashford Homes and Team Eleven – and much coffee and cake was shared at the press morning at Hitachi’s offices in Bradford on Avon.
Wiltshire Air Ambulance corporate partnerships lead Naomi Barker said: “We can’t thank Hitachi & all their supporters enough for their incredible fundraising efforts to support our lifesaving charity. Over the last 12 months, Hitachi has effectively funded four units of LyoPlas; a freeze-dried plasma given to a patient as part of a blood transfusion to stem bleeding. Their support has made a huge difference in the community.”
Raffle prizes included some great prizes donated ranging from a Dinner Voucher from Pablo’s to treatment vouchers from Serenity Beauty and a top of the range coffee machine donated by Knees of Trowbridge.
Our annual mission stats for 2025
Our crew were called to 1,159 missions over the past year – a reminder of the lifesaving difference made possible by public support.
From our airbase in Semington, the helicopter and critical care cars responded to an average of three incidents every day, delivering advanced medical care when every second counted. Speed is the our superpower, with the helicopter able to reach anywhere in Wiltshire and Bath within just 11 minutes.
