May 21 marks Midlands Air Ambulance Charity’s official 30th anniversary

The lifesaving charity, which will mark the milestone on May 21, says people can show their support by wearing something red on the day.

Alternatively, people could make a red hanging basket or plant some red flowers to celebrate.

Another idea is to bake and decorate a cake.

To help fund future lifesaving missions in the area, the charity is asking everyone who chooses to 'go red' to donate by texting MissionPossible and the amount of their choice to 70085.

Emma Gray, chief operating officer for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, said: “2021 continues to be an important milestone year for the charity, despite the past 12 months being exceptionally challenging due to the demand for our service and significant reduction in fundraising.

"We are determined to commemorate our Air30 year with the communities we serve and thank them for their unfaltering support, past, present and in the future.

“We would love our loyal supports to go red on May 21, donate what they can and share their support on social media in recognition of the last 30 years of advanced lifesaving care across the Midlands.”
