Marketing & PR agency Bees Knees was delighted to support Midlands Air Ambulance (MAAC) at the Three Counties Show earlier this year. Volunteer Fundraiser and Bees Knees Founder Rosie Hamilton oversaw tours of ‘the Pod’ which is a decommissioned helicopter. Many of the visitors were children and young families who took turns sitting in the cockpit and viewing the mission-ready equipment in the back which included a stretcher and even a dummy crew member.
‘Quite a few of the children had seen a helicopter flying over at some point and were genuinely interested in what happens during a mission. So it was a really engaging and rewarding experience’ said Rosie
Diane Thomson, Worcestershire fundraising executive for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity added: ‘It is thanks to those in our local communities, like Rosie, that we are able to continue making lifesaving missions possible. A big thank you to Rosie for volunteering her time and supporting our vital pre-hospital emergency service.”
