HRH The Duchess of Cornwall is to continue her patronage of Wiltshire Air Ambulance Charitable Trust.
The Duchess has been a patron of the emergency service since July 2009.
HRH said: “I am proud to be patron of the Wiltshire Air Ambulance Charitable Trust.
“It provides a vital emergency service to the people of Wiltshire and can make the difference between life and death.”
In December 2018 The Duchess officially opened the charity’s new airbase at Semington, near Melksham, meeting former patients, celebrity ambassadors, pilots, paramedics, trustees and charity staff.
Chairman of trustees at Wiltshire Air Ambulance, Chris Lear, said: “Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall has always taken a keen interest in our charity and we are delighted that she has extended her patronage.
“Our progression to being a stand-alone air ambulance with our own helicopter culminated with the move to our new airbase at Semington and we were honoured that The Duchess officially opened it last December.”
Wiltshire Air Ambulance has been active for over 29 years. It operates up to 19 hours a day, 365 days a year, in Wiltshire and surrounding counties.
