My Story

We just need a little more to fund our second public access defibrillator! 

Please donate to this appeal page or click 'fundraise for us' at the top of our main page and put on your own fundraising challenge/events! 10k's to bake sales, shaving your hair to putting a collection tin in your local…let's do this!

Once we’ve raised enough for our next public access defibrillator, we can continue to raise funds towards the ongoing consumables necessary to keep this device rescue ready and any surplus funds will go towards supporting the excellent work of GWAAC.

This extraordinary team of doctors and advanced paramedics respond to the 1% of 999 calls where sending the skill and equipment of a hospital Emergency Department to the patient can save lives. Going to the most serious medical and trauma incidents in Bristol, South Glos, Gloucestershire, North Somerset and B&NES means the team respond to a huge volume of cardiac arrests. In fact, around 25% of their jobs are to this medical emergency.

But they receive no day to day Government funding or National Lottery support.

So let’s dig deep and give what we can to help fund not only our own public access defibrillator but the subsequent care GWAAC can provide those suffering a cardiac arrest and anyone experiencing their worst day.
