Midlands Air Ambulance Charity to Open New Shop in Market Drayton and Calls for Volunteers

Monday 11th May 2026

 

Midlands Air Ambulance Charity is set to open a brand-new shop in Market Drayton on 29th May and is calling on local people to join its volunteer team ahead of the launch.

The new shop, located at Unit A in Frogmore Road, will offer a range of pre-loved items including clothing, accessories and household goods, with all proceeds helping to fund the charity’s lifesaving emergency missions across the region.

Ahead of the official opening, the charity is hosting a series of volunteer recruitment sessions at the new store, giving members of the community the opportunity to find out more about getting involved. The sessions will take place on:

  • Tuesday 12th May – 10.30am – 3pm
  • Thursday 14th May – 10.30am – 3pm
  • Tuesday 19th May – 10.30am – 3pm

An additional volunteer recruitment session will also be held at the Market Drayton outdoor markets, along Cheshire Street, on Wednesday 3rd June from 9am – 3pm.

Volunteers can contribute in a variety of ways, including sorting donations, assisting customers on the shop floor and supporting day-to-day operations. Volunteering offers a rewarding way to give back to the local community while supporting the charity’s vital work.

The shop will also welcome donations of quality pre-loved items to help stock the shelves ahead of opening day.

Alison Hill, volunteer manager at Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, said: “We’re excited to be opening our new shop in Market Drayton and becoming part of the local community. Our volunteers play a crucial role in the success of our retail operations, and we’re looking forward to welcoming new faces to the team. Whether you can spare a few hours a week or more, your support will help us continue to provide our lifesaving service.”

The Market Drayton store will be the charity’s 11th high street shop. Every purchase made in store helps fund Midlands Air Ambulance Charity’s essential missions across Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire and the West Midlands.
