Sailing enthusiasts 'The Abersoch 60' have raised a phenomenal £26,000 for us over the last 12 years.

Two of their members have needed our help themselves, so appreciate the importance of the service we provide.

We can't thank them enough.

Quiz marathon raises thousands for lifesaving charity A retired couple have conducted a massive twenty-seven quiz nights at the Castle Hotel in Llandovery, in aid of the Wales Air Ambulance.

Retired couple Rod and Sally Perkins successfully held 27 quiz nights in Llandovery.

They took place in the Castle Hotel and raised an amazing £2,396 for us.

Without such fundraising, we wouldn't be able to provide critical emergency care.

Thank you.

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas. The crew will remain on standby for you, the people of Wales, throughout the festive period.

Head of Flight Operations, James Grenfell, shared this fantastic photo of our two aircraft with our new livery.

Thank you for sharing James!

These people are all working on Christmas Day to keep the rest of us safe Many will be sacrificing their own celebrations on December 25 to make sure the rest of us can enjoy ours

Spare a thought for those making sacrifices for others this festive period - including my Wales Air Ambulance colleagues.

The picture is taken from the inside of an airborne Wales Air Ambulance helicopter. In the front are the pilot and a medic. The external view is of a blue sky with Yr Wyddfa piercing the cloud.

Critical Care Practitioner, Ian Thomas, caught a glimpse of the blue sky whilst flying over Yr Wyddfa recently.

Not a bad view from the office! ☁️

Capel Bangor teenager remembers late brother with Wales Air Ambulance fundraiser A 17-year-old from Capel Bangor who took on the Aberystwyth 10K in honour of his late brother, has raised funds for the Wales Air Ambulance.

A huge well done to Tomi Jones, who completed the Aberystwyth 10k, in memory of his brother Ned.

Tomi helped to raise a fantastic £2,335 towards our charity, alongside his brother Cai, who also completed a running challenge earlier this year.

School’s Colour Run fundraiser for Superheroes Pupils from a north Wales school have turned their theme of superheroes into a fundraiser for a lifesaving charity.

The children organised a colour run, and raised a wonderful £104.

A photograph taken inside a Wales Air Ambulance shop. A lady is seen looking through a range of clothing on racks. The picture includes the text ‘support our shops’.

Our shops were closed on Saturday, due to the impact of #stormdarragh.

Saturdays in December are some of the busiest shopping days, so we will feel the impact as a charity.

Please call in to your local Wales Air Ambulance shop, every sale will make a huge difference.

This Christmas, we're helping Ioan achieve his merry mission of helping more families stay together.

You can read Ioan's story, and donate, on our website - walesairambulance.com/ioans-merry-mi…

Thank you. ✨

thanks to Pilot, Rich Axon!

If you have any photos of the aircraft, we'd love to see them. Feel free to add them in the comments.

Huge thanks to the Co-op members who supported our cause over the past year. They raised an impressive £2,200 for our patient aftercare service.
