About Wiltshire Air Ambulance
WAA attend, on average, 3 potentially lifesaving missions a day in the helicopter and rapid response car. The speed of the helicopter, along with the advanced skills of the crew, can make the difference between life and death.
The dedicated service that The Wiltshire Air Ambulance offers costs £3.25m a year, relying on public donations to keep them in the sky.
This is a really exciting time for Wiltshire Air Ambulance as they build their custom-built new airbase. The airbase will bring together the helicopter, aircrew and charity team onto one site at Outmarsh Farm, Semington, near Melksham. This is a perfect location in the centre of Wiltshire and will allow the helicopter to reach all parts of the county within 11 minutes. The build started in April 2017 and will cost £1.25m!
