We are Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance, a charity providing critical medical care by land and air, across our communities. We’re here when you need us most. But we can’t do this without your help. As a registered charity, we rely entirely on donations and support from our local communities.

On the 6th August 2013  John our father and father in law suffered a heart attack while up a ladder. He suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of his head hitting concrete without any resistance.

He was taken to Salisbury Hospital and then transferred to Southampton Neuro Intensive Care Unit where he spent 5 days before being returned to Salisbury's fantastic ICU. 

He spent 16 days in a coma. We were told to expect the worse. We never gave up hope or fight and neither did John.

He spent 10 weeks in hospital and is now at home recovering. He has astounded everyone even the medical staff. He is our hero.

The real hero's of the day are  ; Steve , Johns son in law who gave CPR until the ground crew arrived and Wiltshire Air Ambulance whom without them the outcome could have been so very much worse.

You see its called the golden hour where literally that hour makes a difference between life and death. And that is what Wiltshire Air Ambulance do they give you a chance of life because not only do they get you to the right hospital quickly they administer life saving medical care using their skills , knowledge and equipment on board.

They receive no government funding but rely wholly on the support of the public and people like us.

So please help us to say Thank you for saving John and to help keep them in the air saving others.  Besides it has to be worth it ...Clive but even funnier Jules jumping out of a plane !!!!!!!!!  Yikes !
