Saturday's Litter Pick

Thank you for everyone who turned out on Saturday for the litter pick! We collected a few bags but were hindered by the snow hiding the litter!!

Snow has fallen

Snow has fallen on the estate! The forecast suggests there shouldn't be much more but if anyone needs any assistance please contact through the blog comments!

Take care on the path from the estate to Quakers Walk as it does get very slippy!!

New Bin!

The new bin at the top of the path from Quakers Walk has arrived!!!

Letter from Wiltshire Air Ambulance

On behalf of the Wiltshire Air Ambulance Charitable Trust, thank you so much for the kind donation of £172.79 raised yourself and the residents of Quakers Walk. Please pass on our thanks to all concerned. It was also lovely to meet you and your daughter last week when you popped into the Unit. We really appreciate your support.



As you are most likely aware, the service provided by Wiltshire Air Ambulance is unique and is an essential service which is provided to the people of Wiltshire. No-one is exempt – it is there for all life and death situations and because of the speed of the helicopter and skill of the crew this can make a big difference to the patient concerned.



The Air Ambulance receives no Government or National Lottery funding and, therefore, we rely heavily on the support of you – the Wiltshire residents!



Wiltshire’s Air Ambulance is the only Helicopter in the Country that has the ability to fly at night, this is because of the joint collaboration we have with the Police meaning we have specialist cameras and thermal imaging equipment on board.



The Air Ambulance is able to transport the patient to the most appropriate specialist hospital, where life saving medical intervention is given as quickly as possible. The Helicopter can reach any part of Wiltshire within 10 minutes.



Everyone in Wiltshire has a stake in the Wiltshire Air Ambulance.



Flying 365 days a year, the service gives each and everyone of us in Wiltshire peace of mind.



Kindest regards,



Janet Ford

Wiltshire Air Ambulance
