Midlands Air Ambulance Charity
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.
These education packs and activities, which are supported by M6toll, have been designed in line with the national curriculum. You can request a pack by filling in the form below.

We deliver inspiring and engaging presentations, which are carefully planned with learning and teaching needs in mind, whether a part of a school assembly or as a classroom exercise. We provide a fun and interactive insight into the work of our lifesaving service and help pupils understand the importance of safety.
The helipod is a mobile demonstration helicopter shell and provides the closest experience to an air ambulance without the need for the actual one! The interactive pod is a great teaching aid, taking learning out of the classroom.
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.
While it is not compulsory, we do encourage schools and colleges who would like us to visit them to undertake a little fundraising for our charity.
Each critically important air ambulance mission costs the charity £2,500, which is entirely funded by charitable donations from the general public and local businesses.
Here are just some ideas to kick-start your ‘fun’draising:
