Arrive Alive provides funding for lifesaving vehicles and equipment for medically trained volunteers to attend 999 calls, with vehicles able to initiate lifesaving medical treatment on arrival.

The charity has been able to launch and fund three lifesaving vehicles within Birmingham, Solihull and the Black Country.

The charity is also solely funded by donations and does not receive any funding from the government, NHS or National Lottery.

As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the charity has suffered a severe reduction in income due to the cancellation of fundraising events and supermarket bucket collections.

It has started a JustGiving page to ask for help with funding during the pandemic to help it run in the future.
