Carols at Great Western Air Ambulance Charity Shop
Thornbury High Street
Great Western Air Ambulance Charity Shop, 14 High Street, Thornbury BS35 2AQ
Great Western Air Ambulance Charity (GWAAC) is celebrating its second successful year raising vital funds through its shop on Thornbury High Street. Nestled next to Tesoro Lounge, the shop has welcomed many customers, volunteers, and donations since its doors opened in December 2023. The charity would therefore like to thank local people for their generous support and invite them to two days of festivities.
To kick off, a local choir will be singing carols at the shop from approximately 11:30 on Tuesday 9 December.
In 2024, 656 people in Bristol needed GWAAC’s help, making up 29% of GWAAC’s total missions. 2024 was a record year for call-outs for GWAAC and Bristol was its busiest region with a 22% increase compared to 2023. It was also the first time since 2021 that Bristol saw more call-outs in a year than Gloucestershire.
With patient numbers rising year on year, money raised by the Thornbury shop will help keep Bristol’s critical care and air ambulance service operational.
