Johnsonville Charitable Trust have agreed to support Wellington Free Ambulance for another three years with $25000 per annum towards the operational costs of Johnsonville Ambulance Station.
Johnsonville Charitable Trust General Manager David Evans says the Trust is proud to support Wellington Free Ambulance and have been supporting Johnsonville Station for a number of years.
“The team at Wellington Free provide Johnsonville and the surrounding suburbs with a first-class, timely ambulance service offering security to a cross-section of people young and old,” David says.
From the Trust’s perspective it is important to contribute to a necessary and important service and this way we can directly support the continuation of our local ambulance station.
“By providing a free service to the community it relies on donations to support their work and we consider it to be an important organisation to support,” David says.
“As we see a higher demand for housing, Johnsonville and surrounding suburbs will continue to grow. These areas will support an aging population and the continued existence of Wellington Free Ambulance in the area will prove to be invaluable.”
“We hope to be able to continue to inject funds when and where necessary to achieve maximum impact,” David says.
Wellington Free Ambulance Chief Executive, Mike Grant, says ongoing support from our community is always greatly appreciated. The generosity from supporters like Johnsonville Charitable Trust means we can continue to be here for all those who need us.
“Supporting local has been a large focus for this year across Aotearoa, so having the incredible support from our community for our community is something I’m really proud of,” says Mike.
