What does The Ambulance Staff Charity do?

Supporting ambulance staff in their time of need

TASC is proud to provide a range of mental, physical, and financial services to support the wellbeing of the UK’s ambulance staff. Not just for staff out on the road, we’re here to support everyone who is serving or has served in a UK ambulance service, including control room staff, managers and support staff.

An independent source of support when ambulance workers are struggling

TASC is an independent organisation and our services are confidential – anything you share with us will be kept in the strictest confidence and in line with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Providing support to the entire ambulance community

TASC is here to help the wider ambulance community. As well as serving and retired ambulance staff, we can also support active NHS ambulance service volunteers and student paramedics.

A leading national charity

While we are based in the Midlands, our services are available across the UK, including England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey, and Gibraltar.

Robert’s story

Robert came to TASC because he was struggling with his mental health which was also starting to affect his physical wellbeing. We arranged for Robert to have sessions with our in-house counsellor to talk about coping techniques and we also funded sessions for him to meet with an external counsellor to help with his PTSD symptoms.

“TASC’s services were second to none and I would 100% recommend them to any of my colleagues.”

Wendy’s story

Wendy came to TASC because she felt increasing anxious, agitated and unable to switch off. After assessing Wendy’s case, our in-house counsellor felt that she would benefit from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and referred Wendy to one of our partners for six sessions of support.

“Since finishing my sessions I feel more relaxed, focused and happier both at work and in my personal life.”
