Black Country law firm George Green LLP has announced their charity of the year, which will be Midlands Air Ambulance.
Celebrating their 21st year anniversary in 2012, the Midlands Air Ambulance needs £6 million a year, which is funded solely by the public and local businesses.
The Midlands Air Ambulance is responsible for funding and operating three air ambulances serving the communities of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire and the West Midlands. This constitutes the largest air ambulance operating region in the UK.
Since 1991, the charity has responded to more than 37,000 missions averaging 3,000 per year or nearly ten each day.
Tim Lang, Partner and Head of the Firm’s Employment Team, who was instrumental in setting up the firm’s CSR policy said “I’m really pleased that the staff chose to support the Midlands Air Ambulance for the coming 12 months. They do an essential job and save many lives across the region. Many people think they receive government or lottery funding. They don’t and they need every penny of help they can get”.
Sofia Voutianitis, Fundraising Manager for Midlands Air Ambulance commented “In the current climate, fundraising has become difficult, so I delighted to hear that the staff at George Green LLP had voted to support and help us. We’re all looking forward to working with them in as many ways as possible”.
