THOSE interested in the invaluable work the Wiltshire Air Ambulance (WAA) does for the community are invited to attend the charity’s annual general meeting (AGM).
The meeting will review the last 25 years of the charity’s work as well as looking ahead to the future.
A number of short films will be shown, including of patients airlifted by WAA.
The AGM takes place on Wednesday, May 18, 7-8pm at The Trinity CE Primary Academy, Quakers Road, Devizes.
The school has provided the venue free of charge and the event will be hosted by BBC Wiltshire lunchtime presenter Graham Seaman, who is also working for free.
David Philpott, chief executive of WAA, said: “At our annual general meeting we will be reflecting on the key milestones of WAA over the last 25 years.
“This includes becoming a stand-alone air ambulance for the first time in its history in 2015, whilst flying our new state-of-the-art Bell 429 helicopter.
“We will also look forward to what the future holds for the charity, including our proposed new home at Outmarsh Farm, Semington.
“Our staff, trustees and aircrew are really proud that this essential helicopter emergency medical service receives the generous support of the public and businesses to ensure that it continues to fly and save lives in Wiltshire and surrounding counties.”
As well as the formal business of approving the annual accounts, there will also be a presentation on fundraising and an opportunity to ask questions of the trustees.
