Support The North West Ambulance Charity

The North West Ambulance Service Charity, or just NWAS Charity provides support and enhancements to the North West Ambulance Service by funding life-saving equipment and other projects to benefit the health, wellbeing and safety of patients, staff, and our communities. The charity is a legally separate entity from our NHS Trust and is completely reliant upon generous donations and fundraising from the public, businesses, grant funders along with support from our colleagues & volunteers. This means we can provide these important initiatives, which are all over and above the provision of statutory NHS budgets. The donations our charity receives do not subsidise the work of the North West Ambulance Service – they enhance it.
