Remember Wellington Free Ambulance with a gift in your Will
If you're considering leaving Wellington Free Ambulance a gift in your Will – thank you!
A gift left to Wellington Free is a really special way to leave your own personal legacy. You will help ensure that we can deliver on our commitment: to be there for the people of Greater Wellington and Wairarapa when they need us the most.
Gifts of all sizes have a profound impact. Through your heartfelt gift you will be making sure that your friends, family, and neighbours for generations to come will continue to have a free ambulance service.
Together, we can keep saving and changing lives free of charge now and into the future.
"For me it's important to pay it forward. I want to support the amazing, selfless and caring paramedics who look after us with respect and care when we feel most vulnerable" Steph - Bequest Donor
Over the years, Steph has needed Wellington Free Ambulance a few times; to save a family member who was having a heart attack, to save her little girl who swallowed a coin and most recently when Steph experienced a sudden severe gallstone attack.
“It takes a really special person to be a paramedic and I will always be grateful that they were there to care for me at my weakest moment. For me it's important to pay it forward. I know my donation will help save lives and provide care for someone else's child, parent or grandparent. It might only be small, but it's given with enormous gratitude."
The impact of your gift
The impact of your gift
Each year we must fundraise around $8 million from the community to bridge the gap between funding from Government and the cost of keeping services free of charge to anyone in need.
This is no easy task, and we're humbled by the generosity and commitment of people like you, who share the belief in keeping the free in Wellington Free Ambulance.
The vital funds we receive from gifts in Wills help Wellington Free Ambulance buy life-saving equipment for our ambulances and rescue vehicles, and train our people to the highest standards, all ensuring we're able to respond when people need us.
You'll also support the future regional development of our stations and the introduction of new technology that continually improves our patient care, and ultimately saves and changes lives.

"I look after Wellington Free Ambulance, because they look after me!"
Audrey’s 97 years have been filled with amazing adventures. She has some fantastic tales to tell, but woven throughout her story is one simple theme: helping others.
These days Audrey has needed the help of Wellington Free paramedics a number of times, following terrible pains in her chest, when she had pneumonia and when she had a fall resulting in a broken wrist.
“It’s a wonderful service – it’s free, if you need it it’s there, and you don’t need to worry. I am proud to have Wellington Free in my Will. I am a firm supporter, and that will never change.”
