A LIFESAVING charity has been shortlisted for a national award for the third year running.

The Midlands Air Ambulance Charity is a finalist for the Smee and Ford Legacy Giving Awards which recognise the work of its legacy administration team.

Gifts in wills – also known as legacy gifts – fund four out of every ten missions carried out by the organisation.

Emma Wood, head of fundraising and engagement for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, said:

> “Legacy giving is about more than just financial gifts – it is about honouring the values and wishes of our supporters.  
>  
> “Our team works closely with families, legal professionals, and even other charities to ensure that every gift left in a will makes a difference.  
>  
> “Their compassion, attention to detail, and commitment to upholding supporters’ legacies is why we are so proud to be recognised once again in their awards.  
>  
> “We are incredibly grateful to all those who choose to leave our charity a precious gift in their will, as it is their generosity that enables us to continue our lifesaving work.”
