A Unique Concert for Wiltshire

The charity provides Helicopter Emergency Medical Services across Wiltshire, Bath and surrounding areas. Wiltshire Air Ambulance has been saving lives since 1990, operating up to 19 hours a day, 365 days a year. The aircrew, consisting of pilots, critical care paramedics and doctors, attend on average three potentially lifesaving missions each day in the charity’s Bell 429 helicopter or one of two critical care cars. The charity needs to raise £4m each year to continue saving lives and receives no regular direct Government funding or National Lottery grants.

The charity was established in 1998 to work in partnership with Wiltshire Police to provide a home security service. Their mission is to help elderly or vulnerable people who have been victims of, or are considered to be at risk of crime, domestic abuse or fire. They also work with Dorset & Wiltshire Fire & Rescue to ensure the most effective use is made of facilities and support available and those in need of help receive it promptly. The charity launched Stay Safe Online in 2016 to support older people to recognise computer fraud. 

An award-winning charity, based in Devizes, which is the ‘Youth Arm’ of Community First, which has supported people and places across Wiltshire and Swindon for over 50 years. They champion community causes and manage multi-million pound projects, supporting vibrant communities and brighter futures for local people. All their programmes and services aim to meet our objectives: connecting communities, tackling disadvantage, encouraging enterprise and inspiring ideas through innovation.
