June is a poignant month for our Charity, this month we attended our 50,000th mission.
Not only have we attended 50,000 missions, we have touched the lives of patients, their loved ones, family, and friends. We could not have done this without you, the people of Wales, who fund our lifesaving service.
Since our launch, our service has evolved into the highly specialised critical care response we operate today, we take the hospital to the patient, attending those who have life or limb-threatening injuries.
Help us be ready for the next 50,000 missions.
A message from our Chief Executive, Dr Sue Barnes:
“We mark this milestone with huge gratitude – we are truly humbled. This would not have been possible without the continued support and dedication of our supporters, volunteers, employees, medics, pilots and engineers – past and present.
“Behind each mission, there are human stories. On 50,000 occasions, the medics on board our vehicles have been tasked to help someone in need. When past patients and their families visit us, they often bring their family and friends – sometimes their young children. At that point, you realise that the impact of our charity is far greater than just the patient themselves. We have also impacted the lives of their family and friends who, without our service, may never have been reunited with their loved ones.
“We are also immensely grateful to those individuals and organisations we work alongside in the chain of emergency care. This includes the Welsh Ambulance Service and Welsh health boards, as well as fellow emergency services across the country.”
Will you help us to be ready for the next 50,000 missions?
