About Us

Wiltshire Air Ambulance Charitable Trust is a registered charity providing an essential Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) in Wiltshire, Bath and surrounding counties.

We rely on donations to continue saving lives. It is not funded directly by the Government and receives no National Lottery grants. It costs £4 million a year to keep the lifesaving service operational, that’s just around £11,000 per day.

Wiltshire Air Ambulance’s paramedics are trained in critical care skills and, together with the specialist medical equipment they use, it enables them to deliver gold standard medical care to patients.

Wiltshire Air Ambulance is operational up to 19 hours a day, every day, and is called to, on average, three incidents a day in its helicopter and two Rapid Response Vehicles (cars).
