New Critical Care vehicle thanks to Golf Day 2023
On Thursday 9 November, a huge (and we mean huge!) range of Wellington Free Ambulance supporters came together for our annual Golf Day. Hundreds of players enjoyed the sunshine and a great game of golf at the stunning Royal Wellington Golf Club - and importantly, raised an incredible $87,090 for buying and fitting out a new Critical Care vehicle.
Bringing Golf Day 2023 to life took months of effort and a huge amount of teamwork and we'd like to acknowledge and thank our amazing Golf Day supporters, some of whom generously helped in multiple ways!
Thanks to their mahi, we raised $87,090 which will go towards buying and fitting out one of our Critical Care vehicles. These vehicles are for our Shift Managers - the crew behind the crew. Wherever our crews are on the road, rushing to a call-out, Critical Care vehicles carry some of the critical equipment and medications that isn't carried in a standard ambulance. This means they can arrive on the scene with the extra equipment our crews urgently need. These vehicles are essential to our work and being able to buy and fit one out with everything necessary will make a huge difference to our patients and crew from its first day on the road.
For making this happen, tēnā koutou and thank you to:
