OUR IMPACT STUART FROM WESTBURY'S STORY "They saved my life." But it's not just my life they saved. It meant I could get married and we have our two beautiful daughters. After collapsing at home in Westbury, they flew me to Southmead Hospital within 11 minutes. If we’d gone by road it would have taken over an hour to get there and it’s unlikely I’d be telling you this story now. WESTEK, MELKSHAM “Choosing Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity as our Charity of the Year has provided a focus for our fundraising and community work. Besides making a difference to such a vital local Charity, our fundraising activities are great for fostering teamwork and having fun.” Wendy Dorkin, Westek - HR Manager IAN BEST - VOLUNTEER “For anyone who is considering volunteering, don’t just think about it, get on and do it!
