The Ambulance Staff Charity has announced that the official memorial service for UK ambulance workers will take place on 19 September at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.
The one-of-a-kind national service has been running for over 20 years to pay tribute to the lifesaving workers of our UK ambulance services who are no longer with us, including England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Guernsey, Jersey, Gibraltar and the Isle of Man.
Since its creation, the National Ambulance Memorial Service has gone from strength to strength, and last year 200 people from all over the UK, and even further afield, attended to honour their colleagues and loved ones who have served in an ambulance service. Included in the list of attendees were senior representatives of ambulance services, the Association of Ambulance Chief Executives (AACE), the Independent Ambulance Association (IAA) and the College of Paramedics.
The Association of Ambulance Chief Executives is proud to be the principle sponsor of the National Ambulance Memorial Service again in 2024.
“Dedicating a day to remembering our ambulance service colleagues and friends who are no longer with us and sharing that with their families and loved ones is of great importance. AACE is very privileged to be in a position to support the national ambulance memorial service and we hope everyone who wants to attend and pay their respects is able to join us on 19 September.”
Anna Parry, Managing Director, the Association of Ambulance Chief Executives.
The 2024 memorial service is once again being held at the National Memorial Arboretum in Alrewas, Staffordshire on the 19 September 2024. The event is open to anyone who would like to attend and pay tribute.
The National Ambulance Memorial Service will begin with an indoor service in the Aspects Building before attendees walk down in a procession to the ambulance memorial garden where a Roll of Honour will be read out for ambulance staff and volunteers who have passed away since the last service.
The Roll of Honour is currently hosted on TASC’s website where colleagues, friends and loved ones can post tributes and photos of those who have passed away. TASC’s Roll of Honour is available to view here.
