Volunteer With Us

If you're looking to support our charity, volunteering in our charity shops or becoming a ‘virtual’ supporter is a great way to help raise awareness and funds for our lifesaving emergency service.

As a virtual supporter, you can:

  • Get involved on social media: Make sure you like us on Facebook and follow the organisation on Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn and encourage family and friends to do the same. Share and like content to help spread the word about our rapid response service.
  • Join our mailing list – to receive the free Take Off magazine and sign up to our regular update emails – email info@midlandsairambulance.com to sign up.

Donating your time and supporting us online really could help save a life.

  • Join a friendly team, make new friends & meet a diverse group of people
  • Build your confidence

  • Make a difference in your local community
  • Gain valuable retail experience
  • Flexiblity to fit with other commitments
  • Improve mental health and wellbeing

We pride ourselves in looking after our volunteers by providing flexible opportunities, putting them forward for awards and hosting quarterly meetings. We have been awarded an Investors in Volunteers accreditation, which is a nationally recognised sign of excellence.

Our volunteer policy

At Midlands Air Ambulance Charity we have robust procedures that we follow as part of our volunteer policy.

This means every person that enquires about volunteering with MAAC is given the same opportunities and we are able to support a diverse range of abilities and backgrounds.

Volunteers join us for many different reasons and with all sorts of interests, so we aim to match you with a suitable volunteering role wherever possible. Every volunteer receives an induction, so you’ll know what to do and who to ask for help if you need it.

The first step in becoming a Midlands Air Ambulance Charity volunteer is a meet and greet – so we can get to know you, and for you get to know us! We ask all of our volunteers for the following;

  • To present ID – please ask us about what forms of ID we can accept
  • To provide 2 referees – we require 2 character references
  • To be aware some volunteer roles or situations may require a DBS check – this will always be discussed in advance if applicable
