Earlier this week I had the pleasure of speaking at the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity Drop-in event in Parliament.
I praised the amazing, life-saving work carried out by this vital organisation and how I feel reassured knowing that we have such an amazing asset right here in the West Midlands. Each year it costs £16 million to maintain the three aircraft 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 or National Lottery for its daily missions so relies entirely on the support and generosity of local people and businesses. So it is so important that we can do all we can to raise funds for and support this vital charity.
