Celebrating Melby, a loyal supporter

Celebrating Melby, a loyal supporter

Melby was a man who cared for and loved his community – and Wellington Free Ambulance.

Celebrating Melby

For more than 40 years, Melby donated so much of his time to supporting the work we do, including fundraising collections with many of his local groups. This allowed us to be here for him and so many others across Wellington and Wairarapa.

Unfortunately Melby passed away on 15 May 2020. He was 96.

It’s the people like Melby who are always supporting us and cheering us on, that encourages us to keep going.

Thank you for your unwavering support, Melby. We will never forget your smile and passionate personality.
