Registered Scottish charity · Service in development
Wish referrals are not yet open. Wish Ambulance Scotland SCIO is regulated by the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR). Scottish Charity Number: SC055546.

Our purpose

For many people approaching the end of life, ordinary transport is no longer safe, comfortable or practical. A favourite coastline, family home, wedding, football ground, place of worship or final view can become unreachable.

Wish Ambulance Scotland aims to remove that barrier through safe, planned, dignified and compassionate Wish Journeys.

How it will work

A planned process, handled carefully.

1

Referral

A request will be made by a healthcare professional involved in the person’s care once referrals open.

2

Planning

We will consider safety, comfort, clinical needs and practical arrangements.

3

Journey

Trained volunteers will support the person and up to two companions during the Wish Journey.

4

Memory

The focus will be to help create a meaningful experience and lasting memories.

Aberdeen Harbour

The places that matter

Scotland is full of final chapters waiting to be written.

Coastlines, castles, harbours, family homes and favourite views are not just destinations. They are memories.
