The service, which has an airbase in Tatenhill, honoured inspirational people, fundraisers, volunteers, and corporate partners who make its lifesaving missions possible at the event last month.

The evening was a blend of celebration and fundraising, featuring auctions, raffles, and generous donations.

Guests also had the opportunity to hear moving patient stories and meet members of the charity's critical care team.

Jo Bailey, group events lead for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, said: “We're continually inspired by the courage and determination shown by our winners.

“The Saving Lives Charity Ball always brings an unforgettable atmosphere, and this year was no exception.

“It was a powerful reminder of just how deeply our communities stand with us.

“From volunteer stories to fundraising champions, it’s a celebration of everyone who makes our lifesaving missions possible, and we are immensely proud of all our deserving winners.”
