Midlands Air Ambulance Charity
Description
The charity responsible for funding and operating three air ambulances serving the communities of six Midlands counties
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 49,000 missions averaging 2,000 per year, making it one of the longest established and busiest air ambulance organisations in the UK.
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 £9 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.

In 2014, Vince Knowles was crushed by a tree. The impact damaged several of his organs and lacerated his liver. MAAC from Cosford were dispatched to the scene. Recognising the extent of his injuries, critical care paramedic Tom Waters and doctor Rob Moss made the decision to airlift Vince to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham to receive trauma care - ultimately saving his life. Vince is now a volunteer, dedicating spare time to help MAAC. If you have a story that you would like to share, please do comment below or sent a direct message to our page 😊
