Wish Ambulance Scotland · Our vehicle

A generous gift. A new purpose.

Thank you to Alliance Ambulance Services for donating our first ambulance and helping us take this next step.

Donated by Alliance Ambulance Services, our ambulance is being prepared for its new role with Wish Ambulance Scotland. We want its interior to feel calm and welcoming for the person travelling and those beside them.

The places that matter

A familiar view can mean everything.

A Wish Journey might be a return to the coast, a favourite place or time beside someone you love. These views of Scotland are a reminder of why we are preparing the ambulance for its new purpose.
