Axair Fans Proudly Support The Midlands Air Ambulance

Midlands Air Ambulance is the charity responsible for funding and operating three air ambulances serving the communities of six Midlands counties: Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire and the West Midlands. This constitutes the largest air ambulance operating region in the UK.

Since 1991, the charity has responded to more than 46,000 missions averaging 2,000 per year, making it one of the longest established and busiest air ambulance organisations in the UK.

The charity’s three air crafts each carry a crew comprising pilot, two paramedics or flight doctors plus full life-support medical equipment. Operating from strategically located regional air bases, 90 per cent of the region is within reach within eight minutes.

If a patient reaches a hospital within the Golden Hour (60 minutes after their injury) their chances of survival are dramatically increased. That is why the rapid response of the Midlands Air Ambulance is so vital in an emergency situation.

What is not widely known is that Midlands Air Ambulance receives no Government or National Lottery funding. Each Midlands Air Ambulance mission costs £2,500 and in excess of £7 million is needed each year to keep its three air ambulances operational, which is donated entirely by the public and local businesses, with four in ten of those we help funded by Gifts in Wills.

This new year Axair Fans is extremely proud to support the Midlands Air Ambulance charity in the form of a monetary donation. The charity is fortunate to count on the tremendous public support and good will from businesses such as ourselves but never takes it for granted. Winning and keeping hearts and minds is an essential and constant challenge. For more information about the Midlands Air Ambulance visit www.midlandsairambulance.com/
