Winter Star - North West Ambulance Service Charity

The North West Ambulance Charity invites you to light up the sky by donating to our Winter Star Appeal this festive season.

As an NHS Charity, we are totally reliant on donations to help us to provide important initiatives, all of which are over and above the provision of NHS budgets.

By dedicating a star and making a donation of your choice, you will help us to continue to provide support and enhancements to the North West Ambulance Service, through the funding of additional life-saving equipment and projects to benefit the health, wellbeing and safety of patients, staff, and our communities.

How your gift of a star could help:

£10 provides hot drinks and snacks to crews experiencing long queues at Hospital Emergency Departments over winter.

£20 enables NWAS Charity to provide extra training support for one volunteer Community First Responder.

£30 buys replacement pads for a lifesaving defibrillator within a community.

£500 provides clinical training aids.

£600 provides new outdoor seating for staff and volunteers at their ambulance station to provide a relaxation area.

£1200 provides a lifesaving defibrillator for a community.

We fund a wide range of projects and any donation we receive, no matter how big or small, will help us to continue to provide all of this and more vital support to communities, our staff and volunteers across the North West of England. That is why we invite you to join with people from across the North West and dedicate a star this winter time.

You can dedicate your star in whichever way you like. It could be in memory of a loved one, or maybe to express thanks to our emergency crews, 999 and 111 call centre staff or patient transport service teams who you may have received treatment, support or care from this year. It's entirely up to you.

However you choose to support us, we'll be incredibly grateful and as a thank you, we'll send you a beautiful wooden star to keep.
