This June, we're bringing the community together to Light the Way for our Annual Appeal. Hato Hone St John needs your help to build and repair ambulance stations across New Zealand. Now more than ever, as demand continues to grow, investing in ambulance station infrastructure is critical. Ambulance stations are more than buildings. They are where our crews reset, restock, and recharge between callouts – so they’re ready to respond when it matters most. That’s why we’re raising funds for our local ambulance station – ensuring it is futureproofed today, ready to serve our community for generations to come. Can you Light the Way by donating to our station today?
