As someone approaches the end of life, getting into a family car can become too difficult. A person who needs to travel on a stretcher, in a specialist wheelchair or with clinical support may be only a few miles from home and still have no way to spend an afternoon there.
Three paramedics founded Wish Ambulance Scotland in Aberdeen. Inspired by the Dutch Ambulance Wish Foundation, our charity brings together volunteers with clinical, driving and planning skills to make these visits possible. Alliance Ambulance Services donated our first ambulance.
A Wish Journey is a free return trip planned around the person. We start with what matters most to them, where they want to go and who they want beside them. A plan made with the person and their healthcare team covers how to keep them comfortable, whether they can get into the venue and how to get home earlier if they tire.
A relative or friend can share the journey when it is safe and comfortable. A visit might mean hearing a grandchild’s wedding vows and staying for a family photograph, or sitting together by a favourite stretch of the Scottish coast.
After looking after the people you love, please consider remembering Wish Ambulance Scotland in your Will. A gift of any size can help pay for fuel, ambulance upkeep, clinical equipment and volunteer training. It can give another family the chance to spend time together in a place that means something to them.
