Since 2004 TASC, formerly The Ambulance Services Benevolent Fund, has arranged and hosted a national memorial service to honour, remember and thank our ambulance family members in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Guernsey, Jersey, Gibraltar, and the Isle of Man.
Important
The National Ambulance Memorial Service has been a much-loved service in the ambulance community, with attendee numbers growing year-on-year, and last year we reached maximum attendee capacity for the indoor part of the service.
If you would like to attend this year’s event, it’s important that you register at the link above to ensure you can attend the indoor ceremony. TASC may not be able to guarantee entry to the indoor venue for anyone who hasn’t pre-registered if attendee numbers continue to grow. This doesn’t impact the outdoor portion of the event (procession and memorial garden service).
Cancelling your attendance
If your plans change and you can no longer attend the National Ambulance Memorial Service, we would really appreciate it if you could cancel your attendance to free up a space for someone else. You can do this by clicking the cancel order button on your online ticket or by emailing memorial@theasc.org.uk.
We’re proud to host an online Roll of Honour to remember those who have lost their lives while in service with the UK’s ambulance services, and it’s a place where you can share special tributes, stories, photos and videos in memory of ambulance colleagues and loved ones who have passed away.
The Roll of Honour also plays a very important role in the National Ambulance Memorial Service, as the names of those who have passed away since the last service are read out in the memorial garden.
TASC is dedicated to providing independent and confidential support to our ambulance family when they’re struggling, but as a charity, we rely on your support and generosity to continue delivering our life-changing services. Please help us by making a donation today.
Texts will cost the donation amount plus one standard network rate message, and you’ll be opting into hearing more from us. If you would like to donate but don’t wish to hear more from us, please text NAMSNOINFO instead.
