Brookbanks is delighted to announce that we have partnered with Midlands Air Ambulance as our chosen Charity of 2024!
Midlands Air Ambulance Charity is responsible for funding and operating three air ambulance helicopters and a fleet of critical care cars serving communities across the Midlands area, forming the largest air ambulance operating region in England. Since 1991, the charity has responded to more than 74,000 missions, making it one of the longest established and busiest air ambulance organisations in the UK.
Our Charity Champion, Amy Taylor, visited the Air Ambulance Base at the end of 2023 to meet the team and learn about all of the work involved in keeping this amazing charity running.
Brookbanks will be holding a number of fundraising events throughout 2024 for raise money for this brilliant cause. Watch this space!
