Midlands Air Ambulance

It has been produced in partnership with The Word Association and features reflections from past patients, aircrew and volunteers.

On a Mission: 30 Years of Rapid Response was funded by a National Lottery grant via Arts Council England.

Giovanni Esposito, the award-winning poet who initially had the idea for the anthology, said:

> “Poetry and writing of any kind, is a lovely way of expressing one’s self and can be a healthy release of emotion too.  
>  
> “Reading the poems, stories and letters from people affected or involved with the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, has been a humbling, yet uplifting experience for me.  
>  
> “I hope the book resonates with many others too.”  
>  
> Giovanni Esposito

The anthology is available to buy [online](https://www.midlandsairambulance.com/shop/festive/30th-anniversary-poetry-anthology-on-a-mission/c-24/c-73/p-439?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).

Emma Gray, chief operating officer at Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, said:

> “Our team of staff, patients, volunteers and supporters found it extremely rewarding to work with The Word Association.  
>  
> “We are proud of the three-decade story that this book tells.  
>  
> “As our daily missions are entirely funded by the generosity of the public and local businesses, we hope people across the communities we serve purchase On a Mission to find out more about the impact of our service, but also to support us during our milestone anniversary year.”
