About us
Who we are
Midlands Air Ambulance Charity (MAAC) was formed in 1991 and provides a well-established, long serving, pre-hospital, helicopter-led emergency service across the six counties of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, the West Midlands and Worcestershire. We offer enhanced critical care provision, bringing hospital-level procedures and medicines and specialist Doctor and Critical Care Paramedic skills to the patient at the scene.
We operate three aircraft from locations across our geography, along with a fleet of Rapid Response Vehicles and Critical Care Cars in support of our mission. MAAC currently funds its services entirely by fundraising – raising circa £15 million each year to meet that cost. However, MAAC’s five year strategy includes further income diversification.
In 2021 we celebrated our 30-year anniversary, and in April 2022 we became an independent healthcare provider with CQC registration and employing our own Doctors and Critical Care Paramedics.
MAAC’s head office is currently in Stourbridge, West Midlands. MAAC’s head office will be moving in Spring 2023 to MAAC’s new purpose-built airbase and charity headquarters in Cosford on the Shropshire/ Staffordshire border.
