People in Lichfield and Burntwood are being urged to support the Midlands Air Ambulance after coronavirus forced a number of fundraising events to be cancelled.

A series of initiatives throughout April and May have been axed by the charity due to fears over an outbreak of COVID-19,

But Hanna Sebright, chief executive of Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, said public support was now needed more than ever.

> “Following recent Government directive to assist with the containment of coronavirus, we have taken the necessary decision to postpone a number of our popular fundraising events in April and May, when the virus is forecast to be at its peak.   
>  
> “During this health crisis, we are focusing on the provision of our front-line emergency medical service, ensuring the doctors and critical care paramedics can continue to treat some of the Midlands’ most critically ill and injured patients.  
>  
> “At this challenging time, more than ever we rely on your ongoing support.  
>  
> “Please continue to give to your local lifesaving Midlands Air Ambulance Charity so that we can continue to operate our fleet of helicopters and critical care cars.”
