Winter Robin Appeal

This winter, remember someone special while supporting life-saving work.

Our Winter Robin Appeal is an opportunity for you to leave a dedication in memory of a loved one this festive period, whilst supporting the life-saving work of the North West Ambulance Charity.

For each donation made in memory of a family member, a friend, a colleague, or even a pet, we will send you a robin keepsake, which you can use to decorate your home this winter. Your donation helps fund vital equipment and supports our incredible staff and volunteers, so they can deliver emergency care to those who need us most.

Remember, when robins appear, loved ones are near.

Wear it Festive

Choose a day in December and get into the spirit with Wear it Festive Day. 

Wear it Festive is all about encouraging everyone to get into the festive spirit so get your friends, family, work or school involved! Simply pop on your Santa hat, festive jumper, sparkly socks, or even some fun head boppers. It’s all about having a bit of fun, whilst helping to make a real difference through the North West Ambulance Charity. You can find out more about what the charity do here.

If you’re a school, organisation, community group, or even just a group of friends throwing a Christmas jumper party join in the fun! All you need to do is choose a day in December to hold your Wear It Festive Day, encourage donations of £1 (or more) to take part and complete the form below.

Please contact the North West Ambulance Charity via [email protected] if you have any questions.

Do your own fundraising

Do you have your own idea for a fundraiser which could support our charity? It could be a bake sale, a raffle, a charity car wash or even conquering your fears on a sky dive!  Whatever your idea, we can support you with guidance and useful fundraising resources. These might include t-shirts, collection tins and sponsor forms.  

Once you’re all set with an idea, you can set up your JustGiving fundraising page here: JustGiving.

Outrun an Ambulance – anytime event

Could you conquer the mileage an emergency ambulance covers in one shift?

Outrun an Ambulance is a virtual challenge inviting people to go the extra mile and ‘outrun’ the mileage covered by an ambulance on an average shift responding to emergencies. Don’t worry though, you don’t have to do it in 12 hours!  You can choose your method, mileage and time frame for this fun and inclusive event.

Everyone who completes their challenge will get a certificate; those who raise £100 or more will also receive a medal.
