Behind the scenes insight into your local air ambulance and how they save lives in our community

We would like to invite you to join us at the Clarence House in Portishead on the evening of Wednesday 30th of September 2026 from 5:30pm.

A talk will be given by one of the Great Western Air Ambulance Charity (GWAAC) team at 6pm for approximately 45 minutes, giving insight into how the organisation operates, what happens when a call comes in and how the crew help to save lives.

Questions are welcome during the talk but there will be an opportunity for any remaining questions to be asked after the demonstration. Refreshments will be provided throughout. 

One of the busiest air ambulances in the country, in another record year, GWAAC was called out to patients 2344 times in 2025, including 281 in North Somerset.
