Celebrate the life of a loved one by donating to Wales Air Ambulance

Whether your loved one has been directly affected by our work or whether the service we provide represents a cause close to their heart, making a donation in loving memory is a beautiful way for you, your family and friends to celebrate their life and honour them.

There are several ways you can support Wales Air Ambulance in memory of a loved one.

 

Create an online tribute fund

Despite the unwavering dedication of our crew, there are times when those who need our service sadly do not recover. For those who have lost a loved one and have been affected by Wales Air Ambulance, making a donation in their memory can be a deeply meaningful way to honour their life. Your support helps keep our helicopters in the air and our rapid response vehicles on the road.

Creating an online tribute page is a beautiful way to remember and celebrate the life of someone dear to you. Though they may no longer be with you, they will always remain in your heart.

The air ambulance attended Gemma, but despite the best efforts of the crew, she passed away at her partner’s home at 10:15am.

“I decided to support the Wales Air Ambulance for my birthday as they do an amazing job, and they are vital for our community! It is the least I can do, and we all need to do what we can to support them”.

“As difficult as it all is, I want to try to make something good out of a horrible situation. People are very kind and generous it is very overwhelming, but I thank everyone who has messaged and donated, it truly does mean the world to me.

“I don’t need to say how different this birthday is going to be, but this will be a celebration in memory of Gemma Harries. She was just beautiful, and I love her to the moon and back.”- Gemma’s partner, Joseff.
