Shropshire law firm backs Midlands Air Ambulance
Staff from a Telford law firm have helped to raise vital cash for the Midlands Air Ambulance.
The personal injury team at Martin-Kaye Solicitors, in Euston Way, sponsored an AFC Telford home match at the Buck’s Head ground, and received a signed team shirt.
So they decided to donate the shirt to the Midlands Air Ambulance charity to help them raise money at a fund-raising event.
Alison Carter, who is a partner in the legal practice and who leads the personal injury team, said: “The charity auctioned the shirt at a James Bond themed evening at The Shropshire, in Muxton, and their efforts have raised over £450 from the evening so far.
“At Martin-Kaye we’re very keen to support local organisations and it was excellent to see the signed shirt boost the total for such a worthy cause.”
And it’s not the first time the personal injury team has supported the Midlands Air Ambulance.
Every year they volunteer to help the charity with a Christmas gift wrapping service which takes place in Telford Shopping Centre.
“Once again this year we’ll be wrapping presents in our own time in return for donations to the charity as we believe it’s an organisation that deserves all the support we can offer.”
Midlands Air Ambulance is the only charity responsible for funding and operating three air ambulances serving Shropshire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire and the West Midlands.
Since 1991, the charity has responded to more than 37,000 missions averaging 3,000 per year or nearly 10 each day, making it one of the longest established and busiest air ambulance organisations in the UK.
