Unveiling Richard Youens Boulevard
Tuesday, 01 July 2025
The newly-named Richard Youens Boulevard, located at our airbase, stands as a permanent tribute to a man whose unwavering dedication helped shape and sustain our lifesaving service.
Richard’s family and close friends joined us at the airbase for the special unveiling ceremony, giving everyone the chance to share fond memories and reflect on his contributions to the Charity. It was an emotional and uplifting occasion, as those who knew and loved Richard came together to celebrate his legacy.
Richard Youens passed away in December 2024 at the age of 81. His loss has been deeply felt across the Charity.
Richard served as a trustee from 2011 to 2018, later becoming Chairman during one of the most critical periods in our organisation’s history. When Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity faced potential closure in 2014, it was Richard - more than any other individual - who championed its survival.
The Richard Youens Boulevard will forever symbolise his commitment and impact.
We are honoured to remember Richard in this way, and his legacy will live on at the heart of Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity for generations to come.
