Our team in Waterford, Ireland recently welcomed its newest “team member.” In partnership with BUMBLEance, the team is excited to launch the new children’s regional ambulance service, BUMBLEance #15, which will operate and service children from the Southeast Region of Ireland. The new vehicle will be permanently based in Waterford’s car park.
BUMBLEance #15 has been dedicated to Emma Lannigan from the Southeast Region, who unfortunately gained her angel wings in 2012. A very special picture of Emma is included on the vehicle.
Her mother, Anitha, said, “In 2016 we came across BUMBLEance and immediately this charity became very close to our hearts. As parents of a very sick and terminally ill child, we understand the struggle that parents have while trying to commute to appointments. We are both overwhelmed and truly honored to have Emma as Queen Bee on the Southeast Region’s BUMBLEance.”
Brendan Fitzpatrick, Site Director at West commented, “The team here at West are delighted to support BUMBLEance by offering them a parking space for their new vehicle. In addition, we are looking forward to kicking off this year’s West without Borders campaign, with all funds raised going to BUMBLEance, to help the families of sick children in the Southeast Region have a safe and smooth journey for their much-needed medical treatment.”
BUMBLEance founders, Tony and Mary Heffernan, are delighted to have the Southeast Region BUMBLEance up and running, after opening the service during the COVID pandemic in 2020. Tony explains, “The team at West have been an exceptional help in getting #15 on the road and have kindly allowed the use of their facilities to house the BUMBLEance when it is not servicing King and Queen Bees. With the help of funding and the service that West has offered, BUMBLEance has cemented their footprint in this region.”Thank you to the team in Waterford for their creativity and passion, working as One West team in support of such a wonderful charity.

West’s team members in Germany have spent the past month on charitable activities as part of the 2013 West without Borders fundraising initiative. Donations inspired volunteers to prepare lunch, snacks and desserts for their colleagues. Other activities included a raffle, various food sales and a flea market at plants in Eschweiler, Stolberg and the European Headquarters at Kiefernweg to help raise money for local children in need. This year’s motto was “Gemeinsam erfüllen wir Herzenswünsche” (Together we make dreams come true).
Our commitment to philanthropy has been embedded in West’s culture for more than 95 years, and is an integral part of our overall Corporate Responsibility Program. In particular, 2019 was a banner year for philanthropy at West. Our team members closed out the decade with considerable personal investments in both time and resources dedicated to improving their local communities and promoting a healthier world. Our Culture of Giving is a key aspect of the team member experience at all of West’s global sites.
