WARNING - BOGUS CLOTHING COLLECTORS!

Important announcement from Midlands Air Ambulance

BEWARE BOGUS CHARITY COLLECTORS

Midlands Air Ambulance is warning everyone to be on the lookout for an organisation doing door to door collections calling itself Air Ambulance Service (Trading Co) Ltd.

Air Ambulance Service (Trading Co) Ltd is a limited company that is visiting homes across the midlands asking for donations of clothing, toys and mobile phones to be recycled which appears, at first hand, to be in aid of Midlands Air Ambulance Charity.

Midlands Air Ambulance wishes to make clear the Charity has absolutely no association with Air Ambulance Service (Trading Co) Ltd. We have not authorised them to collect goods or raise funds on behalf of the Charity and we receive no funding from them.

If you, or someone you know is visited by Air Ambulance Service (Trading Co) Ltd please be aware that none of the money raised through any donation you make to them goes towards funding Midlands Air Ambulance.

We would advise you to note their details if available and report their visit to your local Trading Standards office and police. There is an ongoing investigation by authorities into Air Ambulance Service (Trading Co) Ltd and your information maybe vital in stopping their activity.

Anyone wishing to donate clothing directly to Midlands Air Ambulance should do so only to an authorised Midlands Air Ambulance collector who will be able to show you our registered Charity Number and official logo. Alternatively you can or contact us direct on 0800 8 40 20 40 or via www.midlandsairambulance.com and we will arrange to collect your donation from you.

This way you can be completely confident your generous support has gone directly to funding this vital life-saving air ambulance service for your community.
