Midlands Air Ambulance Charity
The Midlands’ two biggest taxi and private hire vehicle operators, Go Carz and A2B Radio Cars, have each donated £1,000 to Midlands Air Ambulance Charity (MAAC).
MAAC operates and funds three air ambulances covering six Midlands counties: Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, the West Midlands and Worcestershire. It also operates two critical care cars which are dispatched to medical emergencies such as cardiac arrests, heart attacks and strokes. The lifesaving services they provide daily are completely reliant on local people’s generosity as they do not receive government funding.
Go Carz and A2B Radio Cars, both regional hubs of the UK’s leading private hire operator Veezu, are always keen to help the local community where possible and donated to the worthy cause, helping to keep both driver partners and passengers safe on the road.
Graham Hoof from Go Carz, said: “The work that MAAC do is lifesaving, and it is especially important to us as much of their work is responding to road traffic collisions.
“We are thankful for their service and just want to help them to continue to provide it, especially over the colder months where their time-saving reactions can make all the difference.”
Pam Hodgetts, corporate partnerships manager for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, said: “We undertake up to 12 missions every single day, all of which are funded through the generosity of the local businesses within the communities we serve. The support from Go Carz and A2B Radio Cars is greatly appreciated and will help fund our lifesaving work.
"On behalf of the charity, our crew and patients, I would like to say a big thank you.”
