AN AGM to discuss the past and future of the Wiltshire Air Ambulance is set to take place in Devizes.

During the AGM, taking place on May 18 from 7pm-8pm at The Trinity CE Primary Academy in Devizes, a number of short films will be shown, including patients being airlifted by the WAA, to highlight the work that is carried out by the charity.

David Philpott, chief executive of WAA, said: “At our annual general meeting we will be reflecting on the key milestones of Wiltshire Air Ambulance over the last 25 years. This included 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 (HEMS) receives the generous support of the public and businesses to ensure that it continues to fly and save lives in Wiltshire and surrounding counties.”

The AGM, as well as addressing the business of approving the annual accounts, will also have a presentation on fundraising and an opportunity to address questions to the trustees.
