The new community ambulance has arrived!

TVF awarded a grant of £20,000 to the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability (RHN) in Putney towards a new community ambulance and we are delighted that the new community ambulance has arrived and is being used by families.

The grant was possible from the proceeds of the live auction at TVF's annual ball in December 2025. The urgently needed community ambulance is helping to ensure that patients can go on home visits and social outings with their family who can 'self-drive' the adapted vehicle.

'The new community ambulance has increased the capacity of our fleet, which currently averages at around 900 trips per year. Furthermore, the new ambulance has a ‘self-drive’ feature enabling families and friends to drive their loved one to activities and reducing the demand on our ambulance drivers.'
