Story
We have done Christmas light displays for many many years and last year was the first year we decided to collect for a good cause, we collected £137 for the Macmillan Cancer Support Charity.
This year we are collecting for the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity.
Midlands Air Ambulance Charity (MAAC) operates and funds three air ambulances covering six Midlands counties including Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire and the West Midlands.
Each year it costs £13-14 million to maintain the three aircraft and the provision of a lifesaving service. Each air ambulance mission costs an average of £2,950. Each critical care car mission costs £288 on average. The charity does not receive funding from the Government or National Lottery for its daily missions so relies entirely on the support and generosity of local people and businesses.
Since 1991, they have responded to more than 72,000 missions, making them one of the busiest air ambulance services in the UK.
Lets try and beat last years total.
Any donations are greatly appreciated and any money donated into our collection box outside will be added regularly.
Our Christmas light display runs every night in December from 5PM until 9PM.
