• • Managing winter workload with Porirua 20

    • 29 Jul 2021
    • Wellington Free Ambulance
    • Every year, throughout winter, we face an increased demand on our frontline emergency ambulance service. While our normal resources are out and about, to help mitigate this pressure and ensure we can continue to provide the best possible care, we also have Porirua 20. This vehicle is part of a project called Mahi Ngātahi, a term used to describe the unity of people working towards a specific goal or the implementation of a task.

• • A new ambulance thanks to Cathie Wilkinson

    • 8 Jun 2021
    • Wellington Free Ambulance
    • Cathie explains that her decision to donate an ambulance came after meeting former Wellington Free Ambulance patron, the late Shirley Martin. “I’d had a dream that I wanted to do this, thought about it, talked to the whole family, and that’s how it came about. I then met Shirley – she was absolutely lovely, she told me all about Wellington Free Ambulance. It was from there I knew this was what I wanted to do,” Cathie says.
