Shop Gifts And Gift Lifesaving Missions
To Midlands Air Ambulance Charity
It’s time to think about your Christmas shopping, and where better to start than Midlands Air
Ambulance Charity’s online shop, to make lifesaving missions possible, this Christmas. The
charity expanded its range last year and has now added more items to its Christmas stocklist.
Emma Gray, chief operating officer for Midlands Air Ambulance
Charity, says: “Last year, festive shoppers helped raise in excess of
£55,000 for our pre-hospital emergency service by buying through our
website. From this amount, 46 of our vitally important missions were
funded – 13 air missions and 33 in our two critical care cars.
“We hope that shoppers show their support of our lifesaving charity
this Christmas and help fund future missions across the Midlands and
Gloucestershire.”
