A LIFESAVING West Midlands charity has been on the receiving end of part of a milestone donation tally. The Midlands Air Ambulance Charity has been given a boost thanks to more than £1m raised by savings and retirement business Phoenix Group based in Wythall. The landmark sum, which has been raised since 2014, has been given to Lye based MAAC and the London Air Ambulance Charity via a range of fundraising activities including sponsored sleep outs, abseiling, cycling and skydiving by staff members. Hanna Sebright, Midlands Air Ambulance Charity chief executive, said: “The team at Phoenix Group understood the vitally-important nature of our work from the very start of the partnership and it is the commitment shown by everyone at Phoenix Group that has made the relationship such a success.

London’s Air Ambulance Charity cares for the 10 million people living and working within the M25. The charity deals in life and death situations, helping patients in need of urgent emergency treatment.
When an emergency call comes in, London’s Air Ambulance medics must be ready to go – and so must their equipment. Ensuring medics have the right kit is crucial, but difficult – they need access to everything required in an ICU unit to care for a critically injured trauma patient, plus their own safety gear to keep them safe while they work. The service’s advanced trauma medics are able to perform life-saving treatment, including open heart surgery, blood transfusions and anaesthesia, at the scene.
