Youtube star Farmer P and his fellow Youtuber Funky Farmer hosted a fantastic Easter Fun event at Bradley Farm in Gloucestershire recently.

The event raised more than £2,200 for GWAAC and this fantastic 1960's tractor was the star of the show! 🚜

Their visit provided an incredible photo opportunity!

We've had a great day at @CTFCOfficial, teaching CPR and defibrillation.

A huge thank you to our Great Western Heartstarters volunteers Sam and Paul for teaching the sessions!πŸ’šπŸ’™

With the evenings getting lighter, our helicopter will remain online for longer.

In order to spot potential obstructions when landing at unsurveyed sights, we can only fly in daylight. Once the sun sets, we then respond to incidents using our fleet of critical care cars.
