Midlands Air Ambulance Charity is celebrating 35 years of providing vital pre-hospital emergency care across the Midlands, marking the milestone anniversary on 21 May 2026.

Since its first mission in 1991, the charity has grown into one of the UK’s busiest and most advanced air ambulance services, responding to more than 80,000 missions and delivering lifesaving treatment to patients when every second counts.

Over the past five years alone, the organisation has continued to evolve its clinical capabilities, including the introduction of a new H145 helicopter and 24-hour operations, ensuring patients receive advanced life-saving treatment at the scene of an incident or accident.

To commemorate the anniversary, Midlands Air Ambulance Charity is inviting supporters, communities and businesses across the region to come together and celebrate 35 years of lifesaving service, while helping to secure the future of the charity for generations to come.

As part of the celebrations, the charity is encouraging people to show their support in ways that are meaningful to them – from fundraising and taking on personal challenges, to making donations or helping raise awareness of Midlands Air Ambulance  Charity’s vital service.

One inspiring supporter already going the extra mile is volunteer Alison Lamputt, who will be taking on the iconic Land’s End to John O’Groats (LEJOG) bike challenge later this month to celebrate both her birthday and the charity’s. Alison has already raised nearly £1,000 in aid of Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, just one example of the incredible dedication of the charity’s supporters.

Each mission undertaken by Midlands Air Ambulance Charity is delivered by a highly skilled team of advanced pre-hospital emergency medicine doctors and critical care paramedics, equipped with specialist equipment to provide rapid, lifesaving treatment at the scene.
