John James Bristol Foundation donates £250k to local air ambulance

Great Western Air Ambulance Charity (GWAAC) has received a large donation of £250,000 from the John James Bristol Foundation to go towards the purchase of a new air base.

The John James Bristol Foundation is a grant making trust which gives donations to charities which are making a difference to Bristol residents, and this year they have chosen to donate a large sum to the air ambulance for Bristol and surrounding areas.

GWAAC launched an appeal in July to raise funds to buy a new purpose-built air base, which has just been constructed in Almondsbury. GWAAC’s landlords, built the Almondsbury air base, have offered the charity the opportunity to buy the new base, which will secure their future as a charity and the service to Bristol residents.
