Midlands Air Ambulance Charity
On Sunday 17th August 2025, Midlands Air Ambulance Charity will open the gates of its Strensham airbase – on the Worcestershire/Gloucestershire border – inviting the public to a free open day offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at its life-saving operations.
The family-friendly event will give visitors an opportunity to meet the crews, see the aircraft and critical care cars up close, and learn how the charity provides critical pre-hospital care at the scene of an incident. Over the past year, the team at Strensham airbase has been called out to 1193 missions, delivering lifesaving care to some of the region’s most seriously ill and injured patients.
On the day there will be a host of family entertainment and fun attractions including the charity’s interactive demonstration helicopter pod for children to explore, as well as the opportunity to see how aircrew respond to real-life incidents. A variety of food and artisan stalls from local vendors will also be available.
Richard Apps, special project lead and critical care paramedic for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, commented: “Our open days play a crucial role in helping raise awareness of the rapid response and lifesaving care our crew provide every day in the local area. The Strensham airbase open day is a great opportunity for the local community to not only support our daily lifesaving missions, but to also see the work we do first-hand.”
