  • Volunteering

    Volunteering

    South Central Ambulance Service has a committed team of up to 1000 volunteers working across our service.  Volunteering ranges from patient facing opportunities to supporting the development of both SCAS and the Charity. 

    Community First Responders and Military Co-Responders are trained and dispatched to attend 999 medical emergency calls within their local communities.

    Patient Transport Volunteers volunteer within our Patient Transport Service ensuring patients in the community are able to access hospital services and attend medical appointments providing a friendly, safe and reliable service. 

    We have recently introduced Patient Safety Partner Volunteers and Patient Panel Volunteers who are supporting SCAS to represent patients point of view through a number of different projects.

    Finally we have dedicated Charity Volunteers who help us build awareness of the charity, attend local events and support with fundraising. 

    The SCAS Board agreed a five year volunteering strategy in 2021, and we are working to increase both the types and number of volunteering roles which can be offered.  to support our services.

    Setting up a regular gift, leaving a gift in your will or making a donation in memory of a loved one are very special ways to support us.  Your gifts help us to plan for the future, create new opportunities in working with our colleagues and can also provide lasting memories for you and your family.

    In Memory Giving

    Donations in memory of a loved one 

    Our emergency care and life-saving work brings us into intimate contact with families at the most distressing moments, so we realise that the loss of a loved one is a very difficult and emotional time. We would like to thank you for taking the time to consider supporting South Central Ambulance Charity in memory and honour of your special someone.  

    Friends, family and colleagues often choose to thank the ambulance service by donating in memory of a loved one. These very special gifts are vital to supporting our staff and volunteers to go above and beyond in their communities. There are several ways to honour your loved one’s memory whilst supporting South Central Ambulance Charity:  

    Collect In Memory  

    If you would like to collect donations at a funeral, wake or memorial, we can provide you with gift aid envelopes, collection tins and leaflets about the work the charity delivers. Your funeral director will be able to guide you through the requirements to assist in a smooth donation process.  

    Create A Tribute Page  

    Setting up a page can be a meaningful way to remember your loved one whilst fundraising in their memory. Setting up an in-memory page is quick and easy and can be done through www.muchloved.com 

    Donate In Memory

    Legacy Giving

    Leaving a gift in your Will 

    Leaving a gift in your Will makes a lasting contribution for the future.  We do not yet know what the future will look like but with your support we can make sure patients in our communities can continue to receive excellent emergency care when they need it most. 

    Every adult should have a Will, regardless of age, income or wealth. It is the only way of ensuring your wishes are met after your death. After you have looked after your family and friends, please consider leaving a gift in your Will to South Central Ambulance Charity. No matter how large or small, every gift makes a lasting difference to our staff, volunteers and the communities we serve. 

    Leaving a gift in your Will to show your appreciation to our staff and volunteers is easy to arrange.  We would recommend that you use a solicitor who will make sure that your wishes are clear, understandable and legally binding.
