Air ambulance issues urgent appeal for shop donations

The Midlands Air Ambulance is asking people - as part of their New Year's resolutions - to consider donating pre-loved items to help fund lifesaving missions in Shropshire.

The charity said that the donations make it possible to provide pre-hospital emergency care across the region, to those who need it most.

It said its shops in Shropshire are currently in urgent need of donations of quality clothing, accessories, books, homeware, toys, shoes, and other items that could find a second home.

The charity said every donation helps support it while promoting sustainable, eco-friendly shopping.

Amy Pates, area manager (South) at Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, said: “Donating items you no longer need not only declutters your space but also makes a real difference for our charity. The funds raised through our shops directly support our lifesaving missions in Shropshire, and we couldn’t do it without the generosity and enthusiasm of our supporters.

Donations can be dropped off at charity's shops in Shrewsbury and Wellington.
