We are committed to supporting young people’s educational development.
Unfortunately we airlift a child every other day, which is why we are here to help youngsters better understand our vital lifesaving service and the importance of staying safe.
School age children are our future paramedics, pilots and fundraisers, and engaging them with our charity helps to safeguard the future of our service.
Our Education Programme is in partnership with longstanding corporate partner, M6toll.

Take part in Midlands Air Ambulance Charity’s Wear It Red Day 2024, to show your love for the charity on Valentine’s Day.
During the week commencing 5th February, we’re asking primary schools across the region for all their pupils to wear red to show their love for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, while raising funds for the charity’s vital pre-hospital emergency service.
Schools will receive a resource pack a few weeks before the event, containing all the tools to make the day a huge success.
