Vital critical care from the heart of Bath

He lives in the city and knows first-hand the importance of the charity’s work in Bath – where the aircrew has been called to more than 100 missions in 2024 already.

Craig says: “As a Bath resident, I’m especially proud to work for Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity and be there to respond to emergencies across our communities.

“When we are called to incidents, we are dealing with very ill or injured people who are potentially experiencing the worst moment of their lives."

“The patient is my world – I treat them as if they were a member of my own family.

“Ultimately, we can only do this because of the generosity of the general public and local businesses who provide us with essential funding, and we are so grateful for that support.”

As a registered charity, the service relies entirely on voluntary donations and support from local Wiltshire and Bath communities.
