South Western Ambulance Charity

Charity Logo

Founded in 1995, the South Western Ambulance Charity works alongside the Ambulance Service and communities in the South West to help enhance care and support for patients in their critical moments. 

Our charitable support covers the South West region; Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG). 

We are funded by donations, grants and legacies received from staff, patients, relatives and companies who want to show their appreciation and support for the South Western Ambulance Service. Many donate to say thank you for the care that they, or their loved one, has received from us.  

Donations can be made at South Western Ambulance Charity - JustGiving 

The South Western Ambulance Service Charity is a registered charity in England and Wales (1049230).

 

Community Response Vehicle Appeal

We have launched a major fundraising appeal to raise £210,000 to put 7 new dedicated Community Response Vehicles (CRV) on the road for our volunteer Community First Responders to support patients across the South West. 

We want to provide each of the seven South Western Ambulance Service operational areas with a new dedicated car that is fully converted, sign-written and equipped for volunteer Community First Responders to use to support local patients in need.
