The South Western Ambulance Service Charity, founded in 1995, uses gifted monies to benefit those in our communities who use our service and to improve the welfare of the staff and volunteers of the South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust.
Our charitable support covers Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire including Bristol and Swindon.
We are funded by donations and legacies received primarily from patients, and their relatives, who wish to say thank you for the care that they, or their loved one, has received from us. In addition, members of the public donate to our charity to show their appreciation for the Trust.
Our Charitable Programmes include:
- Supporting our communities: Restart a Heart – Improving cardiac arrest survival rates throughout the South West.
- Supporting our volunteer heroes: In time-critical, life-threatening emergency situations, every second counts.
- Supporting our staff and volunteers: Caring for those who care for others.
