Our mission

Saving lives through rapid medical response

We exist to bridge the gap between emergency and survival. When every second counts, our crews deliver critical care interventions that ground ambulances cannot provide, reaching patients in remote areas and congested urban centers alike.

Give someone a second chance

Each year it costs £20 million to maintain the three aircraft, critical care cars and the provision of a lifesaving service. Each air ambulance mission costs an average of £2,950. Each critical care car mission costs £288 on average. The charity does not receive funding from the Government for its daily missions so relies entirely on the support and generosity of local people and businesses.

Fundraising

Midlands Air Ambulance Charity receives no government funding and therefore we rely on the fundraising efforts of our local communities. We work with those communities to support and guide them to create fun, rewarding and beneficial fundraising activities for all!

Volunteering

Volunteering is a great way to put your skills into action to make a difference in your community. There are so many benefits for people who volunteer with us, in addition to knowing you are playing a part in supporting the charity’s lifesaving missions.

“I remember realising that I’d lost control and that I was going to crash”

“I’m eternally grateful to everyone who helped me that day, especially the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity’s crew, because I’m acutely aware that their actions saved my life.”
