This page allows Volunteers within Feed the Homeless Bristol to provide information on their availability to "Walk" on a particular night that the charity operates. The charity operates around central Bristol feeding the homeless people who look to our support for a hot meal, produce, fruit, snacks and a hot or cold drink. It allows the walkers to see fellow volunteers and what equipment may be needed that evening. Once a desired amount of volunteers has been reached, you may be added to the "reserve list" and if willing, contacted should circumstances change and someone has to drop out. Please red the guideline at the following link to give a better understanding and also Like and share our facebook page which is updated weekly. https://www.feedthehomeless.org.uk/walkguidelines/ https://www.facebook.com/fthBRISTOL/

Great Western Air Ambulance Charity (GWAAC) provide the critical care and air ambulance service for 2.1 million people across the counties of Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire, North Somerset and surrounding areas. Our crew attend the most critical incidents across the region by helicopter or by one of our two critical care cars. When someone is seriously ill or injured time is of the essence, and they need expert help fast. This is where we come in. The GWAAC Critical Care Team consists of a highly trained and experienced Pilot, a Specialist Paramedic in Critical Care and a Critical Care Doctor. From emergency blood transfusions to roadside amputations or treating cardiac arrests, our crew specialise in Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine and Trauma Medicine, bringing the skills and expertise of an Emergency Department to the patient. In 2024, we received a total of 2,272 call-outs to people in urgent need across Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire, North Somerset, and parts of Wiltshire. As a charity we need to raise over £6 million each year to stay operational, but receive no day to day funding from the Government or National Lottery. This means we rely on the generosity of our donors and supporters to keep flying.

The activity camps are vital. It can be a struggle to find appropriate and meaningful activities for young people with learning disabilities and those who need specialised support. These residential activity camps act as a much needed break for families and offer young people, like Beth, the opportunity to learn, make friends, and have fun with their peers. It’s amazing to witness the transformation in the young people who attend our activity camps. For families, the camps also provide the opportunity for essential respite and are often the only break where they can focus exclusively on parenting other children in the family. Next year 56 families will benefit from our activity camps. Because of the highly specialised 24-hour care needed, it costs just over £1,000 for each young person to attend a camp. To hold our three camps in 2017 it will cost £59,040 all of which we need to raise. Collectively, families contribute £18,750 and we are hoping that you can support us in raising the remaining balance of £40,290.
