The Co-operative Food - Yeovil, Mudford Road

Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance is a registered charity, established to provide relief from sickness and injury for the people in Dorset and Somerset, by providing an air ambulance. Since our launch in March 2000, we have flown over 11,000 missions. We operate a Eurocopter EC135 helicopter from our airbase at Henstridge on the Dorset/Somerset border. From there, we can be at any point in the two counties within 20 minutes. More importantly, the helicopter can then take a patient to any one of the Major Trauma Centres in the South West within a further 20 minutes. Our operational costs are over £2 million a year. The cost per mission is approximately £2,500. We receive no direct funding from the Government or the National Lottery and rely entirely on the generosity of the public for support. Thank you!

Our name says it all. The Hub. A place where people, ideas and practical solutions come together. A place where those with learning difficulties and autism get to meet, master new skills and move forwards. A place with a clear-sighted mission: To provide support and training to empower the lives of people with learning disabilities and autism, helping each individual achieve their own personal independence, support their community and work together, beyond disability.
