📢 Cheeky Chopper Beer Sales Continue to Support Great Western Air Ambulance Charity (GWAAC) 🚁🍻 We're thrilled that Gloucester Brewery's “Cheeky Chopper Beer” will continue to help fund the Great Western Air Ambulance Charity (GWAAC)! Every pint of this refreshing, locally crafted brew supports a cause that's critical to our community. About GWAAC 🏥 The Great Western Air Ambulance Charity provides lifesaving critical care across the South West, including Gloucestershire, Bristol, and surrounding areas. Whether it’s a road accident, cardiac arrest, or severe trauma, GWAAC’s highly skilled crew reaches those in need in record time. Operating seven days a week, GWAAC responds to emergencies within minutes via helicopter or critical care car. In 2023 alone, the team attended over 2,000 missions, offering a vital lifeline to those in hard-to-reach areas. Charity-Powered Lifesaving 🚑 Here’s the key part: GWAAC is a charity, relying entirely on donations from the public to keep its helicopter and response vehicles in the air and on the road. With no government funding, they need around £4 million a year to maintain their operations. That means community support is crucial in continuing their lifesaving work. By choosing Cheeky Chopper Beer, you're helping fund GWAAC’s incredible mission. So, next time you raise a glass of this fan-favorite brew, remember you’re doing much more than enjoying great beer—you’re helping save lives! 🍻 Let’s keep GWAAC flying high! ✈️ #SupportGWAAC #DrinkForACause #CheekyChopperBeer #GloucesterBrewery #SavingLives

Scheduled for the 26th of September 2024 at Warehouse 4 in Gloucester, this event aims to raise an impressive £15,000 for five local charities.   Firewalking, the practice of walking barefoot on hot embers, is a transformative experience that helps participants conquer their fears and realise their potential.

Participants are encouraged to commit to raising a minimum of £150 for their chosen charity.   The evening will feature several highlights, including the exhilarating experience of walking across hot coals, providing a unique test of bravery. The event also offers ample opportunities for networking, allowing participants to connect with like-minded individuals and local supporters. Attendees can enjoy live music and entertainment throughout the evening and savour delicious brews and treats from local vendors.   Before the event, participants will receive comprehensive training from the expert team at Blaze to ensure they are fully prepared for the firewalk.   Lee Summers, Managing Director of Elmrep, emphasised the importance of community focus, stating, "As we celebrate our 40th year, we are more committed than ever to giving back to our local community. The Brew and Bravery Firewalk is a perfect opportunity to come together, support vital local charities, and demonstrate the strength and spirit of Gloucester."   Geoff Smith, Managing Director of Gloucester Brewery, highlighted the brewery's ongoing community engagement: "Gloucester Brewery has always been dedicated to supporting local initiatives, and this event is an extension of our ongoing efforts to give back to the community.
