Our Charity

BFSG’s chosen charity really has to be something special, aviation related and that operates in the vicinity of Bristol. So it comes as no surprise that the group has opted to support Great Western Air Ambulance Charity, or GWAAC for short.

GWAAC does amazing work across Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset, Gloucestershire, South Gloucestershire and parts of Wiltshire. The helicopter operates from an airbase at Almondsbury in South Gloucestershire, adjacent to the M4/M5 Almondsbury Interchange.

They operate just one helicopter, an EC135 T2+, known as Helimed 65.
