The Jumbulance Trust is a charitable organisation in the United Kingdom that transports sick and disabled people for holidays and pilgrimages on ambulance buses. The concept was devised by Richard Glitheroe and his wife, a hospice doctor, as a means of conveying sick and disabled people on pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes in France.
