Wellington Free Ambulance is holding its annual street appeal this week across Greater Wellington and the Wairarapa.
Wellington Free is the only free ambulance service in New Zealand and for it to stay that way, it needs to raise vital funds.
“This ambulance service is unique in New Zealand. Everywhere else patients get billed for their ambulance help. Most of us have either had to use an ambulance or have someone close who has at some point in their lives. To keep operating completely free of charge to patients, we rely heavily on donations,” says Wellington Free CE Diana Crossan.
“We have a world class paramedic service here and it is something we all should be very proud of. Please help us to help you by making sure you have some money available to drop in our buckets over the next few days.”
The street appeal runs from Friday September 13 through to Sunday September 15.
